Hi,

It may be due to infection as bacterial vaginosis or fungal infections like thrush, you can go for a vaginal swab to make a diagnosis. As of now, you can try Clotrimazole vaginal lotion for symptomatic relief. If the symptoms are severe, better to consult a gynecologist and get evaluated.

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