Put an ice pack on it!.!.!.it will numb it and shrink the swelling!. If it itches, try a sitz bath!.!.!.but do NOT scratch it!. The yeast can be spread from your hand to your eye or mouth or nose and !.!.!.!.yuck!. That is more painful than in the vaginal region!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I would put ice on it right now to get the swelling down and help with the irritation!. Call the doctor when they open and they'll either call in a different prescription or give you advice otherwise!. You probably won't have to go back in!. I know!.!.!. it's not fun!. Avoid eating sugar(which causes yeast) and since it's summer time try to stay as dry as you can down there!. I personally changed my underwear 3 times the other day just because of sweating!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
A yeast infection is probably the worst pain on the face of this earth!. Its normal the more you touch it and scratch it the more swollen and irritated its going to get!. As long as you can get the itch to calm down you wont touch it and the swelling will go down in a day and the whole thing in about 3-4 days!. GOOD LUCKWww@Answer-Health@Com
Hi!. Could you have developed an allergy to the pill you took!? If you don't want to go back to the doctor, you can try talking to him or his nurse on the phone, and let them know what is going on!. They will then advise you what to do!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
