What Causes Vaginal Itching Along With Cold And Cough?

I ve been experiencing what feels like a cold or flu for one week now, I noticed itching of the vagina started first then the cold came. I have no idea if it s related. I did have thick white discharge one time when I checked but the discharge disappearing very quickly. At first the inner vagina was itchy that that disappeared and itching of outside the vagina started, especially the upper part and the lips. Note no vaginal discharge noticed when inside vagina was itching. The cold was very bad with coughing, body pain, tiredness , runny nose and green phlegm which later thickened and is now gone. Today I started experiencing cold sweats .throughout my temperature was 36℃ although it felt like I had a fever, roof of mouth feels little burning ..today but I felt this initially when the cold start, cough is almost gone..not coughing up any phlegm anymore. Used zinc oxide for vaginal itch a day or 2 thought it was fine but today itching again so shaved and found the vagina lips looking a bit red and dry like rash like but no white spots on it.

Hello,

The symptoms are more consistent with infective causes like yeast or bacterial vaginosis. Consult a gynecologist and plan for a vaginal swab to confirm the diagnosis.

As of now, you can use Clotrimazole lotion to cleanse your genitals.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
