A vaginal INFECTION means you have a bacterial infection, which can ONLY be treated with anti biotics and you can ONLY get them from a doctor. A vaginal infection would probably involve pain, inflammation, foul smelling discharge, even cramping if it is advanced enough.
If you have a yeast infection, that is easy, and hopefully that is what you have. A yeast infection involves itching, lots of itching, very itchy and a thick white discharge that looks like cottage cheese (sorry) and does not have a foul odor. And that you can treat overnight with MONISTAT which you can get in any drugstore here in the US, (I don't know which country you are in.) and you can treat it IMMEDIATELY with yogurt. Yes, applying yogurt will give you instant relief from the itching, but you will still need to get the MONISTAT to cure it permanently.
