Hello
Welcome to HCM,

As the bartholins cyst is swollen and painful,it seems to be infected.So you need to take a course of antibiotics for this along with pain killers like ibuprofen.

Also give hot fomentation on the swelling daily for 4-5 times.

If the symptoms want come down by all this you need to undergo a minor procedure called marsupialization after consulting your gynecologist.

The affected region is more prone for fungal infection, as it is a normal commensals of this area which is kept under control by the helpful organisms, whenever there is a change in the environment either by the change in the temp, other infection or poor hygiene will invoke the growth of fungus and produces the symptoms.

For your condition I would like to suggest
1.Keep the area clean and dry by applying neosporin powder.
2.Topical antifungal cream like ketaconazole
3.Single oral dose of Diflucan 150mg.
These measures will help you to control the infection and makes you comfortable.
Thank you.
