Swollen Urethral Opening, Taken Pill For Yeast Infection. Should I Take Another Pill?

hello, I have recently been given a single pill for a yeast infection though i am not sexually active (I was told it could have been balantis) though the swelling has gone down and it is less red and painful (with less smegma) the urethra opening still looks swollen and the urethra hole itself appears to have widened considerably (3mm to roughly 8-9mm) could it have ripped and should i take another cream or pill? thanks

Urologist,  's  Response
It seems to be reactionary swelling of the meatus and will gradually come down.You can use an anti-fungal cream like lamisil or lotrimin for 2 weeks to get rid of the fungal infection.Some anti-inflammatory like Motrin or Advil will help reduce the swelling.Keep the region clean.
