Maybe yeast infection
I had an ear infection some days ago and I was prescribed 5-day treatment of amoxicillin. The ear problem went away. On the fifth day of treatment I noticed itching near vaginal opening. I read that antibiotics can cause yeast infection. I have been applying candid B cream for last 3 days but I am not sure it's working. Is there some better treatment I can get otc or with prescription?
