Possibly yeast: Very common to get a yeast infection whilst on antibiotics. Plenty of effective remedies at your local drug store. Discuss with your Dr. if this does not take care of problem.

OTC meds 1st: Hello,Antibiotics(tetracycline and clindamycin are notorious) kill good bacteria and cause yeast infection in the vagina.Try over the counter anti yeast meds such as:Monistat(miconazole),Gyne-lotrimin(clortrimazole) or femistat(butuconazole). If you can'f find those,ask the pharmacist.If the OTCs don't help go to your doctor for a prescription like diflucan (fluconazole) which is onlyn1 pill orally.Feel better
