Tampons???

So hear me out. I treated myself for thrush like a week and a bit ago, all my symptoms have gone away (no discharge no itch ect) however the area around the my vaginal opening its still quite red. I'm a tampon person and only normally wear pads to bed. But I've noticed that I can now feel my tampons when they are in and the string is really tickling me (I know it sound absurd) should I treat myself for thrush again to try get rid of the redness or has by body just decided that it doesn't like tampons
