Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Yellow vaginal discharge can be a sign of bacterial infection. Would advise you to do a swab culture sensitivity test and if infection is found appropriate antibiotics needs to be given.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
