Does having itch around vagina and passing white discharge, mean that azithromycin is working?
Patient: I'm 19 weeks pregnant and I"m diagnose with chlamydia my primary doctor prescribe me azithromycin it was only 2 pills which the label said take both pills as one dose it's day 2 and I have this really bad itch around my vagina it doesn't burn when I urinate but I do have white discharge my question is with these symptom can it mean that the treatment is working or do I need to go back to the clinic and get checked and prescribe me more antibiotics? I understand its my 2nd day going on 3 I need helpful answers please. Doctor: You most likely have developed a yeast infection as a result of the antibiotics. This requires a different treatment than chlamydia. It is best to go back to the clinic, get it evaluated, and confirm the diagnosis. The azithromycin most likely has worked, but you may have developed this secondary infection as a side effect. You also want to be sure you don't have another STD which wasn't initially detected. Trichomonas is a parasite that can also cause itchiness and discharge. Hope this helps.
