Hi and thanks for the query,
Persistence of symptoms indicate two things. first thing is that the treatment was inadequate or that other pathogens were not targeted.
You are very correct this could be an associated yeast infection. I would suggest a complete test panel to be carried out. A vaginal swab for direct exams, culture and sensitivity tests to be done to check for possible yeast infection. After samples are collected, blood spectrum anti fungal drugs like vaginal Nystatin or Flcuonazole could be started as laboratory test results are awaited.
I suggest you consult a gynecologist. Thanks and kind regards,
