Brief Answer:
It's likely to be mixed infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
Yeast infection is a fungal infection called candidiasis or moniliasis and responds well to intravaginal antifungal suppositories along with antifungal tablet Flucanazole 150mg. If it has not responded, it is likely to be a mixed infection. Trichomonas vaginalis infection produces symptoms similar to yeast infection and requires treatment with metronidazole or tinidazole.
Do get back to me if you have further questions.
