What Is The Treatment For Yeast Infection?

I had a yeast infection earlier this week.. I took a 1 day suppository capsule on tuesday... still having a lil burning. This morning I stuck my finger up there to see what was going on and when I pulled it out it was covered in a thick whiteish discharge. I am not having discharge in my panties at all. This stuff is super thick... no real odor... could it be the medication still in there or something else?

Hello dear,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your query and understood your concern.


It seems you are still suffering from fungal infection as it usually takes 2 weeks of minimum for complete resolution of infection and symptoms.
If no contraindication, I usually advise my patients to take oral fluconazole also once a week dosage for atleast 2 weeks.
Along with continue suppositories.
Keep the area clean and dry.
For symptomatic relief, you may take antihistaminics like levocetrizine in night time.
I hope it helps.
If you have any further query, you may ask me.
Stay healthy.
