A member asked:
Can a woman develop a yeast infection within the first few days of taking antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yeast Infection: Systemic antibiotics can definitely alter the delicate vaginal bio environment, but a few days is a little fast unless the yeast was building up already. In either case, one needs to treat the burgeoning yeast infection to avoid the discomfort and incessant itching.
