Most, but not all, yeast infections are STDs.
Since the cause of your problem could be a yeast or might be bacteria you need to see a doctor to get a test. Trying to treat a yeast with an anti-bacterial cream can make it worse just as using an anti-fungal cream on a bacterial infection will worsen it.
Since the problem developed very soon after having sex it was probably acquired at that time - which means the girl also has an infection. She too should see a doctor as soon as possible.
Remember to ALWAYS use a condom for any sex outside of a stable marriage. This protects you from most STDs as well as preventing unwanted pregnancies.

Only a doctor could test for that
