On Antibiotic For UTI, Pain Associated, Vaginal Lips Are Very Swollen. Is UTI Back? Is This Yeast Infection?
I am on day 3 of a 3 day antibiotic treatment for a UTI that I have now had for 8 days. Late in day 1 and yesterday all pain associated w. urinating was gone. This morning though by vaginal lips are very swollen and there is some discomfort. Is my UTI coming back? Is this a yeast infection (i have no other yeast infection symptoms and have never had one before)? What should I do?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
There seems to be some contact irritation like with panties, or pads, which could have caused the swelling of vulva. I suggest you take the same antibiotics for two more days. Keep those areas clean and dry. Drink lots of water. Application of antibacterial/antifungal cream over the swollen area will help to some extent.
Thanks.
