"I have had a vaginal infection for 5 weeks and have taken 5 capsules of riva-fluconazole prescribed by my doctor. It's not going away. What should I do?"

Based on the information provided, it is recommended to combine the use of oral medication with a cream applied externally and internally for at least 6 to 7 days to effectively treat a vaginal infection. Using only one form of treatment may not be sufficient in most cases. It is suggested to use an over-the-counter cream like Canesten™ for the prescribed duration without skipping any days to effectively eliminate the yeast causing your symptoms.
