My gynecologist gave me an RX for a yeast infection. It is Boric Acid 600 mg, capsule form. Inserted into vaginal for a total of 2 capsules, (2 nights)woke up at 5;00 a.m. this a.m. My vagina is on fire. Took a cold shower, then tried to use ice chips, made things worse. Is there any thing I can do at home to help me. I am burning in the vagina so bad. I took one Tramadol 50 mg. to try to help for pain. I have a diflucan left over, can I take that?

@germany100 We are not medical professionals on Mayo Clinic Connect so I can't advise you about what to take and not to take. We do provide support and suggestions and can tell you about our experiences. Many people find that very helpful.

I have had terrible vaginal infections that burned too so I know how painful that is.

The first thing to do is to call or contact your gynecologist if you have access to a patient portal. I don't know if you can take Diflucan. That's a question for your gynecologist.

Are you in the U.S.? There is a vaginal cream that one can buy over the counter for yeast infections called Monistat that I used to use for yeast infections. More recently though my doctor has prescribed Diflucan and I've taken it as directed which has cleared up my infections.

I hope you get through to your gynecologist. Please let me know what they suggest that you do.
