Does Recovery From Yeast Infection Take Long?

I a,m taking my second round of Fluconazole 150mg. I was on heavy antibiotics, 3 shots of Gentamicin and was left with a severe yeast infection.My Dr. sent me 3 more pills to day, to take daily for 3 days, would I be better to wait a few days between? In the past I took one a week.

Hi i do care for your concern.
Yes the anti fungal tablet can be taken as once a day for three days, you have not mentioned about the yeast infection and i do guess it might be less severe so that your doctor prescribed three day course.
Sure it will help you to get rid of yeast infection.
You have not mentioned your age and also the reason for which the antibiotics were given.
If the yeast infection is recurrent it is advisable to get a blood examination done along with blood glucose levels.
Hope everything gets well soon.
Hope i have answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask.
Thank you.
