Talk to doctor 1st: Sometimes it's okay to stop antibiotics early, but talk to your doctor 1st. With bites, we worry about bacteria being pushed into the skin and causing a deeper infection, that's why we routinely give abx even before we see an infection - it's more to prevent infection. I usually recommend my patients start something like Monistat for the yeast inf, but discuss w/ me about the abx before stopping.

Depends : Generally there’s a certain number of days that are needed to treat an infection and antibiotics can be stopped. Talk to your doctor and he can decide if you still need to take the antibiotics. Also he/she can treat your yeast infection
