Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.

I had gone through your question I can understand your concern about your post antibiotics opertunistic infection.

Yes it is common when you are on antibiotics your normal oral and vaginal flora which regulate the harmful pathogens gets disturbed and some pathogens like yeast start to grow without control and causes what is called opportunistic infection.

You need to take a course of antifungal medication like ketokenezole for a week or two in consultation with your doctor to get rid of it.

Hope my answer will help you and revert back to us incase you feel any further assistance required.

Regards
Dr Muzaffer Hussain Parray.
