A member asked:

My vagina is really itchy and im taking an antibiotic cefaclor. is this an allergic reaction?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yeast infection: The antibiotic could possibly be causing the normal, protective bacteria in the vagina to be overcome which could cause yeast to develop. It is not uncommon to prescribe an anti-yeast medicine to patients when they are exposed to antibiotics in order to prevent the overgrowth and symptoms (itching) from yeast.
