This is what I've read: If you've had yeast infections in the past and you're sure that's what you now have, you can use the OTC med. If you're not certain, see a doctor.

Not necessarily harmful but it might upset you're system if it isn't a yeast infection. Try and drink more liquid over the next few days, cut down on milk, cheese, caffeine, fizzy drinks and alcohol to see if things improve. Even if you're not sure it's a yeast infection, eating natural yoghurt can help, and it may sound disgusting, but if you put a little on a tampon and insert it, that can also kill an infection because of the good bacteria in the yoghurt. Better than taking medication you might not need, but not harmful if you only have a mild infection or even none at all.

I highly doubt there would be any harm from doing this.
Read the article in my source for more information. :)

If you've ever had one before, you know what it is! If you use the med and it isn't, it won't hurt you!
