Detailed Answer:
Hello Madam,
Thanks for writing in to HCM.
This is Dr.Riyanka answering your query.
Your doctor has prescribed you guaifenesin - it is an expectorant used to relieve chest congestion in upper respiratory tract infections.
Since you are complaining of ammonical smell from vagina due to excessive sweat, kindly keep the pubic region clean shaved to avoid accumalation of excessive sweat which is leading to production of foul smelling bacteria.
You can use vaginal wash solutions (that help maintain vaginal pH) to wash the area instead of soap. keep the area clean and dry.
Since you have no foul smelling vaginal discharge there is no need for applying topical antibacterial or antifungal cream.
Hope this answers your query.
Do please write back for more doubts.
