One common remedy for this infection is to consume as much yogurt in your daily routine as possible. Try to incorporate yogurt products in at least two meals of your day. You can also apply a yogurt-soaked tampon directly into the vagina. Taking a bath with addition of a cup of cider vinegar removes the odor.
