How should a female manage the vaginal yeast infection she experiences after taking the tablet Clindamycin?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have been experiencing a brownish discharge and itchiness in the vagina for the past week. I also experienced yeast infection after taking the tablet Clindamycin. What should I do?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your symptoms are suggestive of vaginitis, which mainly occurs due to fungal infection. I suggest you keep the area dry and clean, drink a lot of warm water, have a soft diet, and take antifungal medicines and cream (consult a specialist doctor, talk with him or her, and take medications with their consent).
