I don't know any good home remedies, but there are several over the counter medications in the form of creams that can help. If the infection is really severe, consult your physician.
But you need to deal with it now. If you don't, it will continue to cause itching, burning, and discharge. It's not going to kill you within the next few weeks, so there's plenty of time to consult a physician.
Writers on this topic will probably give you all kinds of ideas of "natural cures." But just because it's "natural," doesn't make it effective or even safe. None of those thing are regulated.
Go see your doctor, sweetie. Infections mean something is out of wack. It's in your best interest to find out what that is.

If it's your first one, you need to see a doctor for proper treatment and medication.
There are no home remedies to cure yeast infections. The best remedies are what are prescribed by a doctor.

You don't know for certain that it is a yeast infection, so you absolutely MUST start by seeing a doctor. There are no arguments here - if you're wrong, your fertility is a stake, if not your life.
You don't have to see a GYN, as any family doctor can take of this very easily. Of, you can go to a sexual health clinic. But you must see a doctor for a diagnosis.

eat yogurt with active culture at least 3 times per day 1st day and then twice / day after. they also have over the counter stuff.
See your dr. for test.
Anytime you take an antibiotic, EAT YOGURT ! it helps the good baceria stay there and keeps your ph balanced.

The best thing to do is get some monistat at the drugstore, it will clear it up pretty quick--don't let it get worse. It'll itch very badly.
