After 6 days treatment I still have burning sensation in vagina and pain while I pee.Please suggest what should I take now. Shall I take one fluconazole at night so DAT I can sleep. And what else do I need to take to cure this infection. Please suggest
Brief Answer:
Vaginal swab examination should be done
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Vaginal candidiasis or yeast infection is troublesome if not treated completely. I would like to know whether your doctor did a vaginal swab examination for finding the type of candidal infection ( albicans or non albicans) as the treatment duration for the non albicans infection is by fluconazole for 14 days.
You can today take a fluconazole for relief, however you do need a repeat vaginal swab examination, and urine examination to determine the type of fungal infection and urine infection.
Also do get your blood sugar levels checked as vaginal candidiasis is common in diabetic patients.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
