Oh my gosh, I had a yeast infection out of nowhere last weekend and I forgot how bad those feel. I was so uncomfortable and not just from itching.  I used the one day Monostat ovule.  I used it before bed and wore a pad.  No joke, better the next day.  Whew, it worked fast thank goodness.  Witch hazel is good for relief but not so much for the actual yeast infection. The swelling and pain are from the yeast infection.  I had it too! I went from normal to THAT in an instant (no slow build up).  Can you call your ob/gyn?  They can either prescribe diflucan which is a pill you take to knock out yeast or you can go the OTC route like I did but best to check in with your doctor first, especially if you've never used it.  The witch hazel will temporarily make you feel better but will not control the yeast situation.  Then try eating probiotic yogurt or taking a probiotic supplement to help.  Cotton panties, air dry, etc.  good luck
