Brief Answer:
A few suggestions to help with treatment ma'am

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. I would like to start by asking if you are sure you have vaginal thrush or whether this is just an assumption or a guess? And how can you be so sure?

But in case you are correct, the treatment for thrush includes the following:

+Clotrimazole cream to be applied in the given region: Usually available as a kit, which also has a device to allow application
+Anti-fungal oral medications: Fluconazole (e.g. diflucan or canesten)- which can be used as a one time dose oral medication
+Emollient moisturising creams
+Change your inner wear regularly
+Keep the region dry and clean at all times, as fungus thrives in wet and/or moist conditions

I hope you find my response helpful. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
