Brief Answer:
Can be a mixed infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The pain associated with vaginal infection can be due to a mixed infection that can need oral antibiotics. To decrease the pain you can do a cold compress in the area and take a pain killer like Ibuprofen after meals.
You need to consult a gynecologist for exact diagnosis and treatment.
For the time being, please use ice packs, soothing gels like aloe vera and if itching is a problem, you can use Vagisilanti itch cream
Also avoid abrasion and friction, excessive washing or rubbing of the affected area.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
