Is this an std?

Hi, I've had unprotected sex with one person I was dating only him and was under the impression he was also only dating me, we have since broken up because he is seeing someone else and I don't know how long she's been around for. I have had a cold (before we had the unprotected sex) and took antibiotics called amoxil and my vagina got very itchy and sore and I stopped taking them didn't finish the course and my vagina felt better after a while but then the cold came back so I took some again and now it's itchy and sore again so I am hoping it's just thrush from the antibiotics but I am not sure. It is very itchy and red and sore and some skin is dry and cracked and sometimes have white discharge but it doesn't have any odor. To me it seems like just thrush but I don't know I don't understand a lot about stds and their symptoms so do you think it could be something else or just that? Thank you

It sounds very much like a yeast infection, which can be caused by antibiotics. By the way, if you only had a cold, antibiotics won't help.

Thank you so much. I have been researching my symptoms and seemed to be a yeast infection to me but because I have had unprotected sex with him and I don't know who else he had been doing that with, or what he could have, I was worried it might have been symptoms of an Std so I have been researching and reading about them all but just needed someone with more knowledge on this to help because I can't understand a lot of it and distinguish differences. So thank you so much for relieving my anxiety by agreeing it just seems like a yeast infection from taking antibiotics
