No : You should complete your antibiotics as prescribed. You may need to take an additional medication for the yeast infection.

No: If you are sure it is yeast use an ot c yeast treatment, and there are multiple choices of this treatment. If the symptoms continue call your doctor. Do not stop your antibiotics. Stopping and restarting them can lead to resistance and the inability to treat you effectively!

Didn't cause it: The amoxicillin did not cause the yeast infection. It allowed it to emerge as it killed off germs in the gut that it had to compete with for food. You can take probiotics to repopulate your gut with harmless germs to get it back into balance and may need meds to rid yourself of the yeast infection. If you needed the amoxicillin for a problem you should complete the meds as prescribed.
