Possible Yeast Infection? How to treat?

2018-08-20 03:55:05

Asked for Female, 18 Years

I haven’t slept around and have only been with one person, but recently I’ve had symptoms of a yeast infection. Eg itching, swelling, irritation and irregular discharge. I assumed a yeast infection and took over the counter pills, but it’s been 5 days since and I haven’t noticed any change in symptoms. I’m a bit scared to go into a doctor for an exam... what do you recommend?
