[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, I should’ve been clear. My daughter is willing to use the mediation but, she’s not willing to use the applicator to insert it inside. She doesn’t use tampons. [/quote]

If that is the case, she needs an oral med. With an infection of this duration, it will take two single-dose pills of Diflucan to eliminate it. I don't know what you are doing dithering about home remedies when this is available. Call the doctor and get it. [/quote]

The doctor isn’t an option. At first she didn’t want to go because it’s too far and doesn’t like appointments, but now she knows that yeast infections are diagnosed with pelvic exams or visual screenings, which makes her uncomfortable. Her doctor is male, so that’s not an option, and she wouldn’t feel comfortable with a woman either.

Her only option now is telehealth that doesn’t involve video calls, because she doesn’t want to talk to anyone about this. The issue is she needs a liquid medication, and not many telehealth companies offer that. Also, she’s not sure which telehealth services are reliable, and provide uncontaminated medication.

Thanks—any suggestions for which telehealth service to use that’s safe and trustworthy?[/quote]

Any telehealth will prescribe her diflucan if she reports classic yeast infection symptoms.  Most in person urgent cares will do the same, without an internal or even an external exam, if she has classic yeast infection symptoms- it is possible they'll ask for a urine test but that does not involve anyone examining her vaginal area.  She just has to pee, in private, in the bathroom. They send the medication electronically into whatever pharmacy you ask them to.  It's no different, medication wise, than having your regular doctor send it in electronically.  And they can write her for liquid just as easily as they can write her for pills, it just may take 2-3 days to fill if the pharmacy doesn't have it in stock.  Some of these responses from you make me wonder how medically literate you yourself are?  You can't help your daughter become more comfortable with doctors if you yourself don't know much about how doctors visits and pharmacies work.  Paranoia about CVS giving you a different or fake medication just because Doc A writes it instead of Doc B isn't normal. [/quote]
