Hello and welcome to HCM,
Fungal infection can follow a prolonged antibiotic therapy.
The symptoms of swelling and burning sensation in the vagina can be due to fungal infection.
Is there any associated vaginal discharge?
If yes, then the vaginal discharge needs to be examined to identify the cause of infection.
Even if there is no vaginal discharge, a clinical assessment is required by your gynecologist.
A high vaginal swab can also be taken to identify the infection in the vaginal tract.
Appropriate treatment can be planned after clinical assessment and identification of the infective organism.

Thanks and take care
