Can Cephalexin Be Given For Bladder Infection?

Hi- I'm pretty sure I have a bladder infection and I couldn't get in to see a doctor today. The nurse contacted a doctor and without actually seeing just prescribed me some anitbiotics (cephalexin) over the phone. I just took my first pill a couple of hours ago. However, I think there is more to it than a bladder infection. The front of my vagina (on one side) has like bumps/cuts. I don't know if it is just irratated from medicine I used yesterday (because yesterday I thought I had a yeast infection) or what. But it hurts so much. I cry/scream when I pee right now.

Hi,
It seems that there might be having some local bacterial infection producing bump or cut.
Nothing to worry, cephalexin will work for this problem as well.
Continue this antibiotic and consult your doctor afterwards and get it clinically examined.
Clean local part and apply antibiotic cream.
Ok and take care.
