Is Oral Antibiotic Sufficient For Vaginal Yeast Infection?

I am experiencing pain and burning in my vaginal area along with red bumps/blisters. I am on vacation and went to an urgent care facility and was diagnosed with a yeast infection. I was given an oral antibiotic and was instructed to use monistat. The symptoms are not getting better. Could this be something else?
