Yeast infections are usually treated with clotrimazole vaginal tabs but for better results take oral antifungal antibiotic treatment as well....the tingling and burning is common after pill insertion due to release of drug from the tabs....some increase in discharge is also noted by some.....However bleeding is not seen after pill insertion unless you have hurt yourself while insertion of pills or there is dome cervical erosion. ...do get a pap smesr after 1 week...also a local per speculum examination done
