Severe Vaginal Itching, Redness And Swelling. No Relief With Home Remedies And Monistat Kit. Instant Relief?
Last monday my vagina got extremely swollen, red and extremely itchy. I used vagisil to relief the itch. it worked for a couple of days but now it burns when i use it. On tuesday i used Monistat 3 (for 3 nights in a row) and used the creme that was provided with the kit. But now (On sunday) my vagina is extremely itchy, worst then the first days. I know the monistat kit said that it may take up to 7 days for the yeast infection to clear but i really cant take this itchinest. Ive taken warm baths with nothing in the water, ive put a cold cloth but nothing helps. i really dont know what to do anymore. doesnt anyone have an instant relief tips? and if this could really be a yeast infection?

Hi there,
Thanks for your query.
There is NO medicine to give instant relief.
Yeast infection is commonly associated with parasitic infection, such as Trichomonas and Haemophilus.
Hence, I will recommend that you take a combination of oral anti-fungal drug, such as fluconazole + a single high dose of anti-amebic drug, such as, metronidazole or tinidazole, and a course of an antibiotic, such as, Azithromycin.
You may also take a course of anti-histaminic drug, such as, levoceterizine, for reducing the itch.
Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me, and will prescribe the medicines as advised.
