Yeast infection from antibiotics
I was prescribed a 5 day course of antibiotics to treat stomach infection/ stomach ache. On the 4th day I developed a yeast infection. Extreme Itching, might be a bit of swelling, cottage cheese like discharge. It's been two days. I am applying Himalaya's V gel and mupirocin t bact 2% alternatively. The vulva and outer part has stopped itching and there is no swelling as well now but my vagina is still itchy. Any OTC ointment that can help? Or any home remedies? Don't want to take more medicine.
