Yeast infection and taking Monistat 1. Bad idea?

Okay I've never had one before but I have all the symptoms. I took Monistat 1 last night at the urging of a friend and now I feel like my vagina is on fire and itchy as hell. I looked up a few things on the internet and I know now that apparently that's not the way to go (and yes I know I should consult a doctor first but I don't have the money to do that). But now my vagina won't stop burning and I don't have the money to see a Gynecologist. What should I do. It's so itchy and burns so much.

    As gross as this may sound get yourself a sanitary pad and some plain yogurt - Place the yogurt on the pad (obviously) and leave on overnight - You should see some improvement within a couple of days Edit: didn't read your post in its entirety sorry - Regularly daubing apple cider vinegar in the areas prone to this infection. Your can add some garlic to stop the itchy feeling; and water to dilute the vinegar concentration Curds or yogurt is regarded as one of the best home remedies. In fact, it is advisable to soak a tampon into curds and place it in the infected region for at least an hour. Basically, the healthy required bacteria from the curds will replace the unhealthy yeast bacteria. This could be repeated twice to thrice a day. Drink at least two glasses of buttermilk a-day, whether infected or not. In fact making curds a part of the daily diet in take reduces the probability of yeast infection. Mixture of olive leaf extract with grapefruit seed extraction a glass of water is a good curative tonic for this infection. RN

    Try Monistat 7! It is a week treatment and has low doses of the bacterial cream. Monistat 1 has a crapload of dose in it.

    to relieve the pain/itching NOW, take a bath (not a shower) and sit there for a few minutes. You really need to go to the doctor--sounds like you might be having an allergic reaction to the Monistat.
