Some suggestions:
Wear loose cotton undies.
You can use OTC available antifungal medications and apply them regularly.
Avoid douching,tampoon usage and any harsh chemicals.
Eat lots of yoghurt in diet.
Consider visiting a Gynaecologist earliest for examination and take the appropriate treatment regularly.
