    Most yeast infections can be treated with over-the-counter antifungal (local) medications, but it's recommended you consult a health care professional before trying anything, especially if you are pregnant. Talk to a health-care practitioner about all the prescription and non-prescription drugs you are taking before you start any treatment. Burning of the genital area and rash after application is a common side effect of the treatment.

    Once the yeast infection is confirmed, it is usually easily treated by over-the-counter treatments or prescription medications. Over-the-counter treatments are easily available and usually less expensive, such as tablets or suppositories that are inserted into the vagina, or ointments and creams (clotrimazole) that can be applied directly to the infected area for one to seven days. Prescriptions are typically taken in pill form and usually cure the infection faster, although they have more side effects like nausea and vomiting and are more expensive.

    But having tablets that creams are better and faster, is that right?

    Yes, you want to get rid of that yeast infection as soon as possible before it turns into something more serious. I would suggest a trip to your doctor, not knowing how long you have had it.
