Clitoris Has Been Swollen, Feels Engorged, Yeast Infection. Urine Samples For UTI Done. What Is Suggested?

Since Saturday, my clitoris has been swollen and getting worse, It feels engorged, like there is something in there. I called my gynecologist today and they had me come in for a urine sample to test for an UTI and they also gave me a single dose antibiotic for a yeast infection. The doctor did not look at me. What can this be and what can I do to relieve the swelling. Thank you.

MY DEAR PATIENT
RELAX
I SHALL GUIDE YOU AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
MOSTLY YOU HAVE FUNGAL INFECTION.
DID YOUR DOCTOR EXAMINE THE AREA?
FUNGAL INFECTIONS ARE VERY COMMON
YOU HAVE NOT MENTIONED YOUR AGE AND WHETHER YOUR MARRIED AND ALSO HOW MANY KIDS YOU HAVE.
BUT IF IT IS FUNGAL INFECTION, YOUR DOCTOR WILL START YOU ON ANTIBIOTICS AND LOCAL APPLICATION OF ANTIFUNGAL CREAM.
ARE YOU GETTING ITCHING AND WHITISH DISCHARGE IN THAT AREA, WHICH ALSO COULD BE SUGGESTIVE OF FUNGAL INFECTION.
YOU MUST WAIT FOR THE URINE TEST REPORT.IF THE TEST REPORT CONSISTS OF PUS CELLS, THE DOCTOR WILL PUT YOU ON ANTIBIOTICS.
HOPE YOU ARE SATISFIED WITH MY INFORMATION
GOOD LUCK
