Q: This is the first day that I have had some of the symptoms related to yeast infection. They are Vaginal soreness, irritation or burning and Painful vaginal intercourse and that is all of them. Do you think that this is a yeast infection or something else and if so, which monistat should I buy? I do not have a doctor nor can afford one. Please help!
