Brief Answer:
Culture and sensitivity test

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

You seem to have developed bacterial infection probably. This needs to be examined by a gynecologist and see type of discharge. The discharge needs to be sent for culture and sensitivity test. The test shows which antibiotic is most effective in this infection. You can take antibiotics accordingly after reports. This will treat your infection.

Until you see the doctor, drink lots of fluids and keep the area clean and dry.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Regards
