Ok, I have had a yeast infection plenty of times due to antibiotics. Recently I got a yeast infection that was non-antibiotic related, although it was not serious. I took a one dose of diflucan on... tuesday, and it is like the symptoms are still there. It does not itch or anything, but there is the sticky, thick white discharge still. I am not experiencing any other symptoms.
I am NOW on antibiotics for a UTI, and think that maybe this is a new yeast infection starting. I purchased a home treatment which I have had success with in the past. I am debating on whether to use it.
Has anyone else had an experience with diflucan or another pill that did not kill the infection in one day?

diflucan takes a little longer than the vaginal preparations to relieve your symptoms. if you are on antibiotics now there is a good chance you will get a yeast infection about 60% and sounds like you tend to get them. i would use the otc preparation after the antibiotics. if you still have symptoms then, see your gyn as could be a different type of infection or a resistant yeast.

Yogurt helps both when you have a yeast infection and helps to prevent getting one. If the stuff you have now has worked in the past I would say go ahead and use it. If that doesn't help then I would advise you see your gynecologist because it might be something more then a yeast infection. But don't forget to eat yogurt, best on a daily basis.

Diflucan will not clear up a yeast infection in one day also, there are different milligrams of this drug, check to make sure you are taking the correct doses. Either way it still will take a few days for the infection to clear

Maybe you have BV which is very common and you are mistreating it. If you can see a doctor that would be better so you know exactly what you have and exactly how to take care of it.
Yeast infections typically itch, but bv usually does not, but does have discharge and sometimes a smell.
Good remedies Ive noticed myself for thick discharge are drinking plenty of fluids, mainly cranberry juice (which is also good for UTI) and water. It should thin out the discharge.

I'm not sure about this but I think the Diflucan is still in your system working for several days.
I am sure about this.. The best "home remedy" I have used for yeast infection is mega doses acidopholus and garlic. Cranberry pills are also helpful.

Eat yogurt and plenty of it. It works. And believe it or not, and don't get grossed out, buy some unflavored yogurt and use it "down there" if you have to. That works too.
