Be checked: It is common to develop other infections while on antibiotics as they change our normal flora. Be assessed and if it is a yeast infection it can be easily treated. All the best. Probiotics are often helpful to prevent this.

Yes: You can start treating a yeast infection while you are still on antibiotics.
