Painful thrush - What can I before I can get to a chemist?

This is the worst I have had it and I know its because I havent been able to get to a chemist yet.

Is there anything I can do to help before I can get some cream? I thought about Sudocrem but I think thats the wrong thing for this.

I would immerse your affected area in a cool or cold bath if you can, especially if you've been itching and have discharge.

Plain yogurt is often suggested as a coping strategy until you can get to a pharmacist.

Sudocreme might dry the area too much and cause more itching.
