Answers:
Yes it's probably fine!.
The reason you shouldn't have sex is because your partner can reinfect you (he shoud perhaps take a course of antibiotics too)!.
Tampons go in and then come out and into the bin, so they're fine!. As with thrush, there is actually a symptom remedy that involves yoghurt-smeared tampons!
But if in doubt, always ask your doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
