Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely due to yeast infection. While taking broad spectrum antibiotics like Co-amoxiclav this is possible. A swab test will be helpful to confirm this. Albothyl won't be effective in all case. Using anti fungal creams like Clotrimazole for local application will be helpful for this. This is available as over the counter in brands like Monistat or Canestan. Using intimate wash is also recommended to normalize vaginal bacterial flora and PH.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
