Yeast: Whenever u take antibiotic you may present with vaginal itchiness that may be diagnosis or infection for a fungus called Candida Albicans . This can be prevented adding yogurt to your diet while taking antibiotics. The treatment may be a antifungal meds over the counter such Monistat or visit your gynecologist and he can treated it with oral meds for about a day.

No.: Prolonged use of antibiotics can provoke opportunistic vaginal yeast infections in susceptible individuals. Seven days is more than enough time to be taking antibiotics for oral infection, so you should ask your dentist if you can safely discontinue the amoxicillin. If vaginal symptoms persist, see your gynecologist.

Yeast infection: Antibiotics often will cause a vaginal yeast infection by killing all the good bacteria along with the bad bacteria. You can use an over the counter vaginal yeast treatment or talk with your doctor about a prescription. The over the counter ones work as well as the prescriptions though. I recommend at least a 3 day treatment. The 1 day ones don't work very well.
