Welcome to Healthcare Magic
You wound need to get a vaginal swab and urine analysis to look for the specific infection and presence of urine infection respectively. Avoid washing vagina much as this predisposes to certain vaginal infection. Is there any discharge, any itching. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. Drink plenty of water. Regularly change your underwear. You can trim your pubic hair as well to reduce smell.
