Answer:
It's my understanding that over the counter treatments while soothing do little to clear the infection. I have heard of a home remedy using believe it or not PLAIN Yogurt with active cultures. It's supposed to stop the unfriendly bacteria and repopulate with friendly bacteria. The quick and dirty application that I heard sometime ago was to apply it to a tampon every evening and insert. Do this for seven days and it should clear up. Or you could go to your doctor.
