Question by mamamia08: Is it possible you can develop yeast infection while taking antibiotics?
My daughter shes taking Augmentin antibiotics for 4 days now. It seems like she has a yeast infection because she’s having some discharge and icthing. Is that possible while your on antibiotics for couple of days only?

Absolutely! Antibiotics wipe out the bad bacteria in your body along with the good bacteria and that leaves you open to a secondary infection. I always make sure I eat a container of yogurt every day when I’m taking antibiotics or else I will develop a yeast infection too.
