Can Strep B Cause Itching, Constipation, Abdominal Pressure And Stomach Swelling?

About 3 weeks ago, I treated myself for a yeast infection. After a few days the symptoms did not go away and I went to my primary care doctor. I was given diflucan and the doctor took a swab. About a week later, the doctor called and told me I had group B strep. I was then given Augmentin which after 5 doses I had to stop taking due to diarrhea and vomiting. I then was given Azithromycin. Now that I am done taking the Azithromycin, not only do I have hemorrhoids from the diarrhea, but the symptoms I originally had have returned. Can I possibly have group b strep again or was I mis-diagnosed the first time? My symptoms include itching, constipation and pressure on the left side of my abdomen with what feels like stomach swelling.
