Hai XXXXXX,

Thanks for your question.
Following ejaculation you developed itching and burning sensation. You are also having tendency for allergy.If your husband is on some drugs may likely to cause itching and burning. So rule out the possibility.

Next possibility may be the yeast infection. Following Monistat it may take few days to week that you become normal and the discharge to cease completely. Moreover you may have to continue the treatment tab. Fluacanzole once week for 3-4 weeks to get rid of your problem completely. Your sex partner also should be examined and if necessary to be treated.

Certain predisposing factors like prolonged oral antibiotics, steroids, other immune suppressive drugs intake should be stopped to prevent relapse. Diabetes mellitus also be better to be ruled out.
Then you will be absolutely free from your problem.
Get well soon.
