A latex allergy or a yeast infection?

Two nights ago I had sex using a latex condom. I am allergic to latex condoms, but it was a heat of the moment thing. Afterwards, I didn't hurt at all and for the rest of the night I felt fine.
It wasn't until 24 hours later that my vagina started really really hurting. And I don't mean that it was sore- I mean like.. itchy, irritated and swollen- and has been like this all last night and all day today. It's so itchy that it's uncomfortable to walk around.
I would just say that this is a latex allergy.. but this itchiness and irritation should've gone down by now... right? It's been two days! Could this be something else- like a yeast infection? It doesn't hurt me to pee or anything though and I don't have any other symptoms.
Could anyone help me out?

Try sitting in a warm bath and/or taking a dose of Benadryl.

Are you having any discharge at all? With a yeast infection, you will have some discharge and some odor.

I just went and had a bath.. It relieved a lot of the pain but not all of it! :[
I guess I could try some benadryl, it always puts me to sleep or i feel loopy.
I don't think I have any more discharge than normal.. so I'm not sure it's a yeast infection! I guess it's just the condom?
