Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
You should get a vaginal swab examination done to confirm the type of yeast causing the infection. Sometimes, the yeast infection is caused by resistant candida species, and in that case , Fluconazole needs to be taken for a longer duration.
