It is also important to know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding... In all cases, you could try taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500 to 1000mg (1 to 2 extra strength tablets). If this offers relief you could repeat this dose every 4 hours (if 1 tablet) or 6 hours (if 2 tablets) as needed. If acetaminophen does not work and you are not pregnant, I suggest you try ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin - 200 or 400mg or 1 or 2 200mg tablets). If the ibuprofen works, the doses can be repeated every 6 to 8 hours, while eating of course so as not to irritate the stomach. Be aware that the relief of vaginal burning may be modest with these treatments, but they can certainly be tried while waiting to see the doctor, who will be able to confirm whether or not it is indeed vaginosis and start treatment if necessary. It is therefore very important to consult him! With pleasure, Michael Cardinal
