Question : I'm 64 years old. I've had vaginal irritation on and off for a week or two. For two days now the irritation is constant and more pronounced. There is no discharge and no odor. I'm on Estrace twice a week. I would see my gyn but it's Saturday plus I'm out of town. Can I take something over-the-counter? I plan to make a gyn appointment asap.

Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
You can take candid vaginal pessaries or miconazole ointment for relief from vaginal irritation.
It can be due to infection.
