Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Cystitis and yeast infection have totally different symptoms. Cystitis is bladder infection and yeast mostly gives vaginal symptoms. In cystitis frequent strong urges to urinate, blood in urine, small urinary amount, cloudy or strong smelling urine and lower abdominal pain etc is predominant. Yest is with watery vaginal discharge, itching , vulvar ras, ithing in coitus etc.
FLo pen and moxclav both are penicillins and can be used in cystitis. But first you should get it confirmed by seeking your doctor, they will do a simple urine routine exam, a vaginal exam and swabs to sort it all out for you.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.

Brief Answer:
Antibiotics won't help yeast
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back to me
yeast is a fungal infection and caused by Candida . antibiotics would have no effect on the symptoms caused by yeast. once again with history of cystitis in past this could be recurrent cystitis. let your doctor assess it out for you.
antibiotics won't help yeast infection. you will need antifungal for that once proven.
I hope it helps.

Have had several attacks of cystitis at my age and think this is yeast.
If this is so would antibiotics help or make it worse. Anything else to do?
I am going away and can't get to my doctor first
