I was taking antibiotics for strep throat it ended up giving me a yeast infection it had no smell but itchiness and swelling occurred. I took Monistat 1 and I cleared up in 3 days but like the next day or two I ended up with another discharge which smells bad.
I took Monistat 1 and now I have a smelly discharge which I didn't have before I took it. Why ?

Z712; What your having is a common effect from the yeast Infection, EVEN after your done with the treatment it continues to work in your system for 5 to 7 days if after that time your still having problems let your doctor know. Also if you're on Birth control of any type many antibiotics lower the effectiveness of them. And when you are treating yourself for a yeast Infection it's best not to have sex for I believe it's 5 to 7 days from the time you used the Monistat.

Z712; You did not say but many times right after the use of the Monistat you also can feel some slight swelling or burning which is also normal as it chips away at the yeast infection. If you are also having these problems if after 5 days or so call your doctor.
