A member asked:

Been on doxycycline &metronidazole since monday for pid. been wearing pads & today my vagina lips are swollen tender & red. what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible yeast: When a woman is taking antibiotics it is common to get a yeast infection. Symptoms of yeast include itching, swelling, redness and thick white vaginal discharge. However there are other types of vaginal infections. Women who think they have a yeast infection will sometimes use an over the counter yeast medication or see their doc for an exam to see what is going on.
