I got Monistat 7 for a yeast infection and after 2 days my symptoms are gone except for an itch.
Medically reviewed by Drugs.com. Last updated on April 3, 2023.
Can I stop using it? The discharge has gone and the swelling and irritation have gone but I am still rather itchy. Should I continue treatment? I am on day 4.
No you should continue until treatment is finished. Vaginal yeast infections respond best to 7-day treatments and tend to come back if medicine is stopped early.
