Yeast infecion or some thing else?!
Question: Yeast infecion or some thing else?
Why did the pill he gave me not work? Because maybe its not a yeast infeccion?
Should I go back to the hospital? ( I dont have a doctor)
Answers:
That definitely sounds like an infection.
I'd go to the doctor again and make sure you really get a prescription this time.
Unless the doctor did a vaginal exam and took cultures, it could be bacterial vaginosis which needs an antibiotic to treat it rather than a yeast infection. Obviously, you need to see a doctor again. But, you need to go to a family doctor, not the ER. ER visits can start around $750 and go up from there, depending on how many tests are done. A family doctor anywhere often runs $150-$200 for a clinic visit and you get the same care. You need to go to a family physician, not the ER which would be inappropriate use of the ER for a follow-up visit. Your discharge instructions given to you state "if not improved, see your family doctor". How on earth are you going to pay off a $2000 ER visit (if you go again), just to treat a vaginal infection of some sort? You could also get this treated at Planned Parenthood for a fraction of the cost of an ER
