Do Antibiotics Lead To Yeast Infections?

Very unlikely in your situation. Suggest a physician's exam and a vaginal swab study..
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query,
Antibiotics do not cause yeast infections. However, excessive consumption of certain antibiotics could destroy natural flora (organisms) that leave in harmony naturally with the human body. These could predispose to the growth of some yeasts.
I am afraid in your case, taking antibiotics only three days cannot explain a new yeast infection.
I strongly suggest a clinical examination by your doctor and prescription of a vaginal swab, to identify any causative agent of such symptoms.
Evaluating for discharge and quality and quantity, color if any could be most useful to your doctor.
Some local unconscious traumatic lesions could cause itches, A physical examination by your doctor to me remains very primordial.
Kind regards as I wish you the best of health.
