If there is pain or itching, it's probably yeast and you need to get some more of that medicine (Monistat, Gyne-Lotrimin, etc. in the drugstore where the tampons are). Be sure to use the medicine for the entire recommended course, otherwise the yeast will come back with a vengence.

If there is no itching or discomfort, you may just be having thicker discharge due to ovulation. This is normal.

You may need to go to your GYNO for a stronger prescription than those over the counter medicines.

If it gets really itchy, an oatmeal bath helps. Soak in it for 20 minutes and it should sooth you somewhat.

Good luck
