Brief Answer:
Miconazole cream

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

To be 100% sure you can go for pap-smear (only if you have been sexually active).

For itching and/or curdy discharge you can try monistat (miconazole) cream. It is a long acting antifungal medication to be applied locally. You can apply it on as needed basis. Oral medications are not needed for mild to moderate infections and can have side effects.

Hope it helps.
