Q: does antibiotic like amoxicillin typically trigger a bacteria vaginosis or yeast infection? because im prone to one?

: Amoxicillin generally does not trigger bacterial vaginosis or a yeast infection, although yeast infections are very common after a course of antibiotics. If you do get symptoms of a yeast infection, contact your doctor for treatment. Good luck.
