but i cant figure out which was which. Is amoxicillin good for strep throats.. or you think that could be the yeast infection one?

Answer 1

Amoxicillin is an antibiotic used to treat infections, like your strep throat.  Most antibiotics will also kill the "good" bacteria found in the v****a which keep yeast in check.  This is why your doctor gave you medication, probably  Diflucan, for a yeast infection.
