Get Checked: All woman have normal bacteria in their reproductive tract. Taking antibiotics for 5 days can change those bacteria and cause overgrowth of some. The best treatment requires a proper diagnosis. I understand it may be a hassle, but taking certain medicines/over-the-counter drugs can delay diagnosis/proper treatment and potentially make things worse. I would recommend seeing your physician.
