Go to your local drug store and get Monistat cream. It is used to treat yeast infections and prevent fungus from growing. There are a few different kinds so make sure you read the package to see which one is right for you. Good luck!

There are plenty of brands out there- Monistat, Gyne-Lotrimin, Femstat, Vagistat, etc etc depending on how long you want to use the medication for. Some brands also are sold along with a cream to use for itching and inflammation.
Symptoms of a yeast infection include a vaginal discharge that is a little lumpy and white, and it smells like yeast. Usually it is best to see a doctor the first time you have one, so a proper diagnosis can be made. If there is a clinic or Planned Parenthood in your area, these are offices you can typically see a doctor right away.

since you are taking an anitbiotic you have a yeast infection.
Antibiotics casue them.
You need to get something like Monistat and use it that will clear up the infection.
Most women get them if they have to take antibiotics.
The antibiotics just kill all the bacteria even the good ones. And when that happens yeast grows to fast.
You will be fine just use the cream and it will ficit.
If not you can call your doctor and get a pill for it called Diflucan it works well but you will still itch for a few days.

Until you can get to the doctor, you can buy Monistat at your pharmacy. That should help the itcing. Also try eating yogurt. Read the label to make sure the yogurt cultures are live. Get to your doctor as soon as you can, though.

Go to the drug store and ask the pharmacist which one would be best to help until you get into the doctor.

Your best bet is Monistat. Never use an antibiotic - that will make it worse.

GO to the drug store and by Monostat. But still go to the dr. especially if this is your first one.
