Yeast Infection

Hello ladies. I feel like I might have a yeast infection (I’ve had them before), though it’s mostly itching and discomfort, no unusual discharge, and it comes and goes (feeling is not constant). Is it ok to take OTC creams or will it be more bothersome if I take some and turns out I have no yeast infection? Doctor told me I could try the 3-day treatment and see but I’m a bit hesitant to try.
