Brief Answer:
Mild steroid ointment can be helpful
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Irritation in the vagina can be because of infection or dryness caused by antibiotics.
I will suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined internally, and take appropriate treatment.
In the meantime, you can apply mild steroid ointment to relieve the symptoms.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
