There are a number of over-the-counter treatments. A couple that come to mind are Gynolotramin(R) and Monistat 7(R). Follow the package insert instructions. I can't give you a first-hand testimonial except to say that Lotramin(R) knocks out athelete's foot in short order--I figure that the antifungal in Gynolotramin(R) will kill yeast just as well.

∙ 10y agoProvided you know it is a yeast infection and not a bacterial infection or an STI/STD then you can use an over-the-counter yeast infection treatment; tablets, cream, or pessery is absolutely fine.
You should never use tampons during a vaginal infection as tampons are a major cause of vaginal infection so may make it worse or lead to further infections, also if vaginal flora is off-balance it may leave you at higher risk of TSS. Commercial pads such as Always or Kotex are also best avoided as another common cause of vaginal infections as they prevent air-flow to genitals making them warm and moist so perfect for bacteria and yeast growth, and chemicals can effect pH.
It is best to use organic cotton pads, cloth pads, menstrual cups or softcups - although if you use menstrual cups sterilise the cups after your period.
