is major swelling allergic reaction to monistat 1 or what?

You're having an allergic reaction to the Monistat 1 it's too strong same thing happened to me

My issue with Monistat 1 was from 5 years ago. It was my first yeast infection and I wanted it gone asap. I picked up the ovule 1 day pack and the day after inserting it ended up being pretty scary. I started to break out in hives on my chin and the inside of my mouth, my lips swelled up, and my eyes got very red. I can't remember if I had the swelling on my lady parts because of everything happening with my face. I, of course, went to urgent care immediately got everything taken care of. I thankfully don't get yeast infections often but every time after that my doctor has prescribed me the oral medicine, Diflucan, which I have never had any issues with. I am now 27 weeks pregnant and feel like I have had a yeast infection on and off for a few years and was reading that Diflucan is not safe to take during pregnancy, but the over the counter types are. I'm scared to even try the over counter stuff because of my allergic reaction, but I'm thinking that the one day dose is just too strong for most people.

I had a reaction to the one day kind years ago with severe swelling, the doctor told me to always use the seven day kind after that. There is two different types of seven day kind, try the one that is not using the same medication as Monistat.

When did the swelling go down? Was it days

I have rencently 2 yrs ago got my first YI i was pregnant too. I got 1 maybe 5 months ago and used the monistat 1 i was fine no problems. I got one just a couple days ago. I know know my body good and i know when something is wrong. I was on day 2 of having a YI usually gets uncomfortable and it did so i didnt wait for my doc. Went to target got a monistat waiting until bedtime and inserted it. Woke up multiple times feeling super uncomfortable i put the cream prior to bedtime also and it kinda stung so i took it off immediately. I went to the bathroom in the am like 4am bc my clitoris felt swollen and it hurt i turned on the nights and omg my clit was swollen and huge it hurt and was a bit itchy but i freaked out jumped on google. Glad im not the only one i was about to go to the er. Its 7 am and urgent care opens at 8 thank God!

Im experiencing all this pain!!! Swollen lips and I can barely walk. Do I just wait it out? Also Im breastfeedibg is my baby at risk?

im having blistering too, the ER lady made me cry cause she says over and over "its herpes" and doesn't believe me that it can be a reaction to monistatt.She didnt even test me for it. Ive been crying for days. Don't know what to do about my boyfriend cause he feels the distance. I'm just scared if it is anything I don't want to give it to him

I am having an allergic reaction to the monistat 1 at this time also. I’m so happy I’m not alone. I woke up this morning and my clitoris is so swollen. I knew I should had gotten the 7 day treatment or 3 days. I used it before and no reaction. I’m going to have to make an doctors appointment this is not cool and irritating.

I used the seven day, and had all these horrid issues after 4 days. There is an allergen preservative in this product, That we must be allergic to. (I had the same reaction to Neosporian and ended up in the hospital with an iv. ) I was in too much pain to go to ER with this. Bought benedryl and Destin cream. Hope swelling goes down soon.

Being a lesbian had nothing to do with herpes......

I know what you mean. I had phneumonia and they gave me antibiotics. Well I ended up with an infection. I used monsistat and literally a couple hours in (no burning or anything) I woke up from a nap and my vagina was swollen to twice it's normal size . Hurt so bad I thought it was gonna Burst swollen. I iced it and eventually go into my Dr. Apparently this means I am severally allergic to monsistat.

Same here. Monistat one caused my labia to swell up into the size of golf balls. I literally had balls, I had to walk bow legged all day.

At 1 am, reading all of these posts made my heart lighter! The pamphlet sure didn't bring me any comfort or give me answers. I took Monistat 1 Friday night (after having a YI for 2 weeks). It's Sunday and I'm struggling with pain, a lot of swelling, and irritation. Holy smokes, that first night was unreal. Hair dryer on cool was the only thing that kept me from pulling my hair out! I wouldn't call it relief; just a step from insanity. I don't know how long this will last, but I will share what seems to be helping. Vitamin E gently patted on with a cotton ball, eating a large bowl of Greek yogurt everyday, NOT using the symptom cream that came in the package, taking additional Vitamin C, Chamomile & Lavender lye soap (high quality, locally made), drinking lots of water to stay flushed, loose clothing, and constantly changing my liner on cotton panties to keep things dry down there (and the leaking medicine OFF my skin as it comes out). I guess my only question now is when the heck are all the wounded ladies going to get together and jointly sue these rotten companies for hurting our bodies? I had never heard or been told of these intense dangers from using these packs. Soooo much worse than the YI. I would certainly have tried home remedies for a month compared to this unbearable pain and embarrassment. And these poor women on here having to go through the humiliation and psyche screw of being told they have HERPES, when it's a billion dollar company's end result of a false advertisement! And we all had to pay $25 - $30 for this toxic kit, and then even more for medical visits, and medication! Oh my gosh - what is up?! I'm sorry, but if this were happening to men, the FDA would have shut it down long ago, and a lawsuit would be in the works. Fellow women, thank you for sharing your painful, and embarrassing stories. We are no longer on islands :)
