Hello dear
I understand your concern
Swelling in vagina could be due to vaginal infection,irritation/contact dermatitis, vaginitis.
For diagnosis vaginal examination by gynecologist is must.
Vaginal swab tests and vaginal microscopy will help in diagnosis.
Following advises will help:
Wash vagina with warm salted water 2-3 times per day and then apply apple cidar vinegar
Use lactobacillus suppository
Warm water sitz bath
Wear pure cotton loose inner and keep area clean and dry
If persists then following prescribed medicine will help:
Application of clingen suppository
Application of mild steroid application for 5-7 days
Drink plenty of water and eat healthy diet
Hope this may help you

Contact further if follow up needed
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
