Watchful waiting

If you are sure your symptoms are caused by a vaginal yeast infection, try wait for few days to see if the symptoms clear up on their own which is not harmful, especially if you expect your menstrual period within that time. Sometimes during a menstrual period, it will relieve the symptoms of a mild yeast infection. If your symptoms continue, you can also try the nonprescription medicine. If the symptoms continue after treatment, then you will need to see your doctor.
