You need to try to get to the doctor. It’s very important that you do not leave a yeast infection untreated for 3 weeks. The symptoms may get worse. Also, you will be unfamiliar with where and how to receive medical treatment in this foreign country. It would be for the best to get a prescription to take care of it.
