I had a vaginal yeast infection 2 weeks ago. I used itraconazole 100 mg, 2 pills per day for 2 days. The infection seemed to have disappeared. Also my boyfriend that I have intercourse with used fluconazole 150 mg 1 pill per day for 3 days for protective measures. Now, after 2 weeks, the infection came back again. What should I do? And why it keeps coming back?

It means it was not cured. Do the following-- 1. You maintain high grade of personal hygiene. 2. Do change your undergarments at least 2 times a day 3. Wear cotton underclothes. 4. Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of fluids. 5. Keep the area dry. For more details you can consult me.

You must get it checked by a doctor, is it the same yeast infection or any other infection which needs treatment. Also you must use protection during sex.
