Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns about discharge from vagina.

This discharge us likely to be due to fungal infection.

You are on right medications for the same. Please continue the same. You are likely to see relief in next one week.

Meanwhile clean the itching vaginal area with soap and water twice a day and keep it dry.

Penicillin has nothing to do with this . This is not side effect.

Let me know if you need any more clarification.

Regards
