Hi

Your symptoms could denote allergy to plan b tablet.Hormonal contraceptives can also alter the vaginal ph which can also increase the risk of vaginal infections causing itching.

Any history of excess vaginal discharge,curdy white discharge or foul smelling discharge usually indicates vaginal infections.Vaginal smear can be done to confirm diagnosis.

Antihistamines or mild steroids may be used in case of allergy. Antibiotics may be essential in case of vaginal infections.Oral fluconazole can be used in fungal infections which is very effective.

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

Regards
