SERIOUSLY NEED HELP!!!
Hi... Im new at this so I am far from comfortable airing out and requesting assistance... Well I have recently been taking some amoxicillin (excuse the spelling errors), and I've notice serious pain and tenderness in my personal areas. I am not so sure if it has any direct relations, but I do notice that I have some odor issues and discharge. Can someone please help!!!
Yep sounds like thrush (yeast infection). All you need to do to treat it is to get an antifungal from the chemist. They are generally available over the counter so you don't need to go to the doctor. You can get a once only tablet (fluconazole - Diflucan) or you can use a cream or pessary such as canesten (clotrimazole).
It is very common to get thrush after antibiotics as they kill off all the good bacteria and allow there to be an overgrowth of Candida (the yeast that causes thrush).

You might have gotten a yeast infection. Call your ob-gyn and see if you can get in to get checked.
