Hi,
Infection by bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, allergies, sex without lubrication, that causes swelling can be treated with antibiotics, hydrocortisone and antifungal creams. However, genital herpes also causes painful sores and swellings in the labia and need to be physically examined. Visit ER, get STD tests done along with your sexual partner, you may need antivirals, OTC painkillers and other medications.
In the meantime refrain from sex, take care of your hygiene, apply a cold compress, wear cotton clothes and take rich iron/calcium diet and probiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K,
