HELP! Yeast Infection won't go away!

I've been having vagina issues for a while now. This will probably be a T.M.I but i'm really desperate. So, first I was having sex and it was really painful and we had to stop almost immediently so I went to the doctor and she told me I had BV. I took the medication and the first time it didn't work so I went back and she gave me more medicine and the second time, it went away. However, then I got a yeast infection so I went back and although I took the medicine as instructed, I still have symptoms and discharge. So, the doctor told me to use boric acid suppositories and I did for 7-14 days and now, my vagina is swollen and red on my labia. Also on the inside of my vagina I feel painful, swollen bumps. I don't know what to do because I still am itching and am having discharge that is either light yellow or white and clumpy and I'm nervous to do anything else to my vagina bc I'm so swollen and I can barely even open or touch my vagina without it hurting. My doctor hasn't really been helping if I'm being honest. Any advice? I'm wondering if I'm having an allergic reaction to the medicine or if it's something else.

    Also I got tested for trich and Chlamydia a couple months ago and the test came back negative so I'm just confused as to why my ph is so off and why nothing is helping to cure this.

    im so sorry. can you go to a different doctor? I am also having yellow discharge. It sounds like you are having a reaction to something. Have you changed anything recently like detergent or soap?

      No. My doctor did tell me though, to just use water to wash down there. And it seems like all the medicine I'm taking is making my situation worse and not better.
