The yeast infection may be turning systemic. It has a very distinct odor. Get yourself to a doctor and treat it aggressively. You don't want to end up with yeast all over your body.
You would need several days of treatment with Diflucan. If you feel lousy after you start taking the pills, this is probably a sign of dying yeast cells. They can make you feel like you have the flu. It will pass, but you need to take the full course of anti-fungals. Many people stop taking the pills too soon and end up with a chronic infection.
It took me years to get rid of it.

Love
Jacqueline
