Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Lomixin vaginal pessary is to treat fungal infection of vagina. In the beginning of treatment there may be burning & symptoms may aggravate , The relief starts after 2 days of use. If you had complete relief after first course & your doctor has prescribed it, you should continue with it. But if you had no relief & were allergic to drug that time, discontinue the drug & discuss it with your doctor. The drug/dosage might be changed. Oral medication may be added. The recurrence of infection also suggests treatment of your spouce.
