What Is The Best Medicine For Yeast Infection?

I have been taking Biaxin for a bacterial infection in my respiratory system, however I thought it had given me a yeast infection. I was itchy and irritated and had a very thick, almost yellow discharge. I took Monistat I and had sexual intercourse the third night, and found out I was still burning and hurting. Now, I am bleeding but still have that irregular discharge so it's almost pink and has progressed to red throughout the day but I can still see the discharge. My period is not due for another ten days, but I've been cramping for the past two days. What could this be?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
What medications you have taken is right for yeast infection. However, you should have certain period of time for the infection to subside before indulging in sexual activities. This might have caused recurrence of the infection along with vaginal mucosal injuries like abrasions.
In any case, kindly wash the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon everyday and maintain good genital hygiene. Take a course of Metronidazole orally and repeat the dose of antifungal medication which you have taken earlier.
Wear loose fitting undergarments and abstain from sexual activities till the symptoms subside completely.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
