vaginal yeast infection
"Today is Sat, and though I finished my amoxicillin (dental infection) on Wed, the side effects of vaginal dryness, burning and itching are still here.  I'm an RN, so I know side effects of Amoxicillin and I know Miconazole topical can itch and burn.  I used the generic version of the 1-day Monistat ovule- (1,200 mg miconazole nitrate), b/c you can use it during the day.  OMG! 30 mins later, the itching/burning became unbearable- fire ants are an accurate metaphor. I took 50 mg of Benedryl and put an ice pack on my crotch.  I cried.  A lot.  It was intense but it lasted only about an hour.  Now it feels like a hot throbbing but it's not painful- an unpleasant side effect of the medication.  Hang in there."
