Hello,

The chest pain is typical of local inflammation or chostochondritis. The sore vulva needs further investigation: a vaginal discharge bacterial culture for fungal infection. Anyway, I would not recommend using yogurt. If the chest pain persists, I would recommend taking ibuprofen. Another drug for a prolonged period of time would be gabapentine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
