HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this is not because of the antibiotic neither this could be a side effects of antibiotic but drying of vagina is not the indication of any systemic disease, but some time vaginitis particularly "Fungal infection'" may cause the dryness of vagina but not always, no need to worry about this, just wait for some time it would be alright, hope this information helps you, take care and good day.
