How Will Antibiotics For UTI Cause Symptoms Of Yeast Infection?
I ve recently been given antibiotics for a UTI (a three day course) they ddidnt seem to work so the doctor the gave me a weeks course of cefalexin 500mg, and I m pretty sure, its caused me to have as yeast infection, I have the symtomes of white thick discharge and a very red and inflamed vagina and hymen. I still have 4 antibiotics left to take, would it be possible to treat the thrush now or to wait until I have completed the course of antibiotics?

Hello ma'am and welcome.
If you have indeed contracted a yeast infrction, this will first have to be diagnosed by your doctor and yes, the treatment for the yeast infection may be initiated now and continued simultaneously with the antibiotics.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
