Yeast infection: It's a common problem in some patients after taking a course of antibiotic. Antibiotic is used to treat infections. However, it also changes the composition of your normal bacterial flora meaning it also kills the good bacteria in your body so you might get opportunistic infections including yeast infection. You should call your doctor. A dose of anti-fungal medication should take care of it.
