Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Avoid sprays & douches wash with plain water. No, nothing to worry. Do not use harsh clothing detergents & abstain from sex for some time. You can take Antihistamines for relieve. Avoid anything that triggers the reaction. Drink plenty of water. It should get better. However if you still have problem, visit ER & get examined you may have to go for blood tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
