Hello,
As per your history, it seems to be a fungal infection only. You have taken for 5 days steroid and it can cause immunosuppression that will lead to reactivation of yeast infection and you have not been given antifungal for 4 weeks.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards
