Brief Answer:
High vaginal swab culture and sensitivity test

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns about vaginal itching.

It is very difficult to differentiate both. Best way is to get high vaginal swab culture and sensitivity test done.

This test will tell the organism responsible for infection and the antibiotics it is responsive to.

You can cure it as per test report.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
