Hello,
Often associated with antibiotics is a yeast infection due to disturbing the flora balance. Try to take acidopholus. Probiotics and yogurt may help digestive tract. Antibiotics require a full dose at proper intervals to treat infections. If you are not having a true allergic reaction, try to finish your medicine with the unfortunate side effects.
Keep well hydrated. Allow the tissue to heal. Avoid irritants. Antifungal medicine may be needed if yeast infection diagnosed and persists. I hope you feel better soon. Than k you for your inquiry
