Please let me know the medicines you took

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query.
Please let me know the antibiotics you had taken.
Candida responds to antifungal only and not to antibiotics. Chlamydia responds to only certain types of antibiotics only and not to all.

Brief Answer:
oral and local treatment gives best results

Detailed Answer:
With your symptoms of itching and thick white discharge it is likely to be candidiasis.
What I have found to give best results in my patients is a two prong approach. Oral flucanazole and canesten vaginal tabs.
It works best if your husband also takes Flucanazole
