Hi XXXXXX,
Thanks for consulting us.
The symptoms you have quoted may be present in a number of conditions. Most common being vaginal discharge. Both conditions are more common in women who are taking antibiotics.
I suggest she should have a urine test a swab test from her vagina. These tests are likely to provide some helpful clues about her current symptoms. Once the reports are available a specific treament can be suggested.
Meanwhile tell her to take plenty of water to wash out her system.
Please feel free to write back if you have any question.
Best regards.
