If you have never had one before you need to see a doc to be sure this is truely what you have. If you have had one before the best thing is to get Diflucan from the doc but you can just use over the counter yeast infection creams that you get at your local drug department of you store.

I assume you mean a vaginal thrush like infection.
If you are in any doubt about the diagnosis you must see a nurse or doctor and have an examination and swab taken.
There are a number of over the counter preparations available from the pharmacy. Canestan is the most well known. You can buy cream, pessaries or oral preparations.
If your condition is chronic you might try this natural remedy.
One way you might decrease the risk of recurrence is to try natural LIVE yogurt. At every period buy a small carton of live yogurt. Put it in the fridge and make sure everyone knows it is yours!
At least once a day, during your period, dip a fresh tampon in the yogurt and then insert it as usual. This helps to normalise the vagina flora. (organisms.)
Lactobacilli, the bacteria used to produce yogurt, and still present when you buy the 'live' yogurts, are the same organisms that grow in the healthy vagina. While they are present there is if you like no room for other more annoying organisms to live.

you need to go to a pharmacy, there are creams, but better still there is an oral capsule to treat it. I cant remember the name of it but it works quicker than anything else as well. The pharmacist will be able to assist you.

Don't use soap when you wash "down there" but make sure to wash thoroughly.
