@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.

It’s an awful feeling; I sympathize. My gynecologist swabs my vagina with gentian violet whenever I have burning (usually from antibiotics). I also take a Diflucan three days apart.
My mom (who’s 103) said her gynecologist used to treat her with gentian violet too - it’s an oldie but goodie.
