Clitoris Hood, Labia Itchy, Swollen, Have Mucus Like Discharge. How To Cure?

Two days ago, I noticed my clitoris, clitoris hood and labia were realty itchy and a little swollen and I started to have clear, watery, mucus like discharge . Now its even more swollen and really red and blotchy. I thought maybe it was a yeast infection so I started to rinse with a vinegar and water mixture. That took the edge off the itching but its still so swollen and I think maybe the vineger irritated my clitoris. What is this?

This seems to be some sort of infection. Commonly there are three types of vaginal infections causing such problem.
1. Fungal infection : the discharge is curdy type. Can be cured by antifungal vaginal pessaries.
2. Trichomonal : the discharge is greenish white and free flowing. Can be cured by Metronidazole group of the medicines.
3. Bacterial Infection : the discharge is mucoid and foul smelling. Can be cured by antibiotics.
Both the sexual partner need to take the treatment simultaneously.
Please get your Gynaec check up done and accordingly you will be prescribed medicines.
