   No mam, you need to get the antibiotic prescribed by a doctor that you have to take for at least a week; don’t wait too long, because the yeast infection may become a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection). Not anything over-the-counter, it doesn’t work the same.

   I asked my doctor this question once. She said the 3 or 7 day treatments are better because the one-dose might not be enough. I have used them with success with a mild infection, but they still recommend holding off on sex for a few days. Yeast infections suck, so I’d play it safe, but it’s your decision.

   Home remedy for yeast infection in vagina

   Dip a tampon in plain yogurt (curd, yoghurt) containing Lactobacillus acidophilus, and insert into the vagina twice a day until your symptoms clear up. Repeat this until one day after the symptoms disappear.
   Peel a fresh clove of garlic and make a little tampon by wrapping it in cheesecloth and tying with unwaxed dental floss. You may leave a bit of floss to pull it out afterward. Insert it in vagina and leave there for several hours, say overnight, and remove it in the morning. For severe infection, try this in the morning and during night both. Repeat this until one day after the symptoms disappear.
   Pour a few drops of Teatree oil (available from natural health stores) on a lubricated tampon & insert into the vagina.
   Insert 1 or 2 capsules of boric acid into the vagina and keep it there overnight for several nights. For some women the boric acid may cause burning and discomfort for the first few days.
   Dissolve 1 Tbsp of potassium sorbate in 1 cup water. Insert a tampon into the vagina and pour this solution inside to be absorbed by the tampon. Keep it there overnight. Repeat this for several nights.
   Add 1 Tbsp of Apple Cider Vinegar in 2 cups of water and put 1 garlic clove in it. Let it stand for some time and use this for douching.
   For other parts of the Body: Apply fresh garlic paste directly on the affected part of the body.
