Possibly: Chronic longstanding antibiotics can have these side effects. One can get an intestinal infection - C-diff, - yeast infections and antibiotic resistance. Please see your doctor .

Well,..: Sometimes low dose antibiotics are required to treat chronic issues, similar to low dose antibiotics daily for acne. The unfortunate side effect is that yeast infections are a common occurrence and can be annoying. See or call the Dr. if you think you have a yeast infection requiring treatment. Good luck.
