Why is Monostat-1 causing me so much pain?

I believe I have a yeast infection because I was prescribed antibiotics and it hurts really bad. The top part of my vagina is super swollen, red, and it burns. In order to make it go away, my mom bought Monostat 1. I was hesitant to try the ovule, but my mom convinced me. So we put it in and I was ok. Until 2 hours later I woke up and my entire vagina felt like it was on fire (the inner folds). I am taking a bath right now because my mother said it would help. Although I am scared and don't know what to do. 15 F.

Unfortunately that is a common side effect experienced by majority women on monistat. Try some Tylenol or ibuprofen?
