Hello. Thanks fr writing to us at healthcaremagic
This is most likely a result of vaginal yeast infection.
Itching and discharge are symptoms of yeast infection. Yeast infection is likely since you were recently on a 2 weeks course of Oral antibiotics; yeast infections are common in those who are on broad spectrum antibiotics.
If I was the treating doctor I would have asked you to use an OTC topical antifungal e.g clotrimazole vaginal tablets once daily for 7 days.
A single dose of an Oral antifungal e.g fluconzole is also curative. Oral antifungals are prescription drugs
Regards
