Can amoxicillin cause anal redness and severe itching and what can i do to help it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably yeast infection. Amoxicillin and other antibiotics can trigger vaginal or anal yeast infections and your symptoms are typical. Try one of the many OTC products for vaginal yeast and use in the vagina and on the anal area. Look for active ingredient ending in "azole" (miconazole, terconazole, etc). Best to confirm with the doctor who prescribed the amoxicillin. Good luck
