Monostat burning - is it normal?

Hi! I just got my first ever yeast infection! My wonderful wise nurse of a mother told me to get Monostat 7. I used the disposable suppository before bed tonight, and it automatically started tingling and burning WAY more than the infection already was. Just curious as to if this is normal?? I’m also on my period, and using pads..NOT tampons currently because of the infection. The outside cream is just fine, but it’s the inside that is really tingling and has a super uncomfortable burning sensation.

Thank you in advance to anyone who may have some insight in regards to this or anything else involving yeast infections :)
