Question
I have been having these symptons for a little over two weeks. It's a horrible odor.. itchiness, and it feels swollen up in there.. ( i checked to see if there was an old tampon by any chance) I was on a lot of antibiotics on christmas break for when I had my wisdom teeth surgery which included steriods, and antibiotics with pain medicine mixing with my birth control. I dont no if that has anything to do this.
Answer
Chances are really good that you have a yeast infection. You can start monistat over the counter, or call your doctor. You should feel immediate relief and in the future - please do not wait, but call your doctor.
