Hello dear
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com family
I have gone through your concern in depth .

@ Metronidazole has nothing to do with the swelling in vagina .
@ That is in relation with bacterial infection of the vagina ( vaginitis )
@ Need clinical check up , proper treatment with needed antibiotics , anti
inflammatory , anti histamine drugs in proper course duration to recover
the problem .
@ Till then keep the part clean , dry with antiseptic liquid
Consume plenty of liquids
Pain killers for primary relief , Benadryl for itching
Avoid sex vaginally
Clotrimazole (1%) dusting powder works really nice

Hope this will help you definitely .
Feel free to ask any questions in future .
Thanks for patience evaluation of my answer .
Regards dear .
