Does monistat work?

I have a doctors appointment Tuesday because I think I have a yeast infection. I had sex the other day with my husband and afterwards my vagina was burning. I peed right before we did and felt normal but then after we finished it hurt to pee. Ever since then it just doesn't feel right down there. It isnt burning anymore but every now and then I feel discomfort and itching. I am hoping this is a yeast infection. Idk what else it could be because unless my husband cheated there is no way its a std. So does monistat work or should I wait til my appointment?
