I am in so much pain. I woke up 4 days ago with a horribly swollen and tender vagina. It was itchy and painful in certain areas. I just got over strep throat and was on augmenten, an antibiotic, so I figured it was a yeast infection. I did the monistat 1 daytime suppository, but it didn't seem to help. I don't know if I trust the one day treatment that i am taking during the day. I got my period the day after I used monistat. Anyway, the issue is not getting better. I don't seem to have any blisters, I just look red and sore and have some little cuts at the top of my labia. I just ended a long term relationship, and we had both been tested. I was actually just tested again for everything, including herpes, in may. I just started dating a new guy, but he has been tested (or so he says) and we have always used condoms, no unprotected sex at all. Do you think this is just a bad yeast infection and a dose a diflucan will help, or could it be herpes. I need to wait until i finish my period to see my doctor, but in the meantime its driving me crazy! Please help!
