For most yeast infections you can get over the counter medication from your local pharmacy (rite aid, walgreens, target etc). You can choose to get it in the form of pills, or cream that you have to apply vaginally for a week. If you see a doctor, you can get a prescription pill that only requires you to take it once (e.g. fluconazole). However, if you have a resistant strain (if otc medication doesnt help) you need to get stronger prescription cream, such as terconazole.
