**1. candida superinfection can be adverse drug reaction [ADR] of Augmentin [amoxicillin+ clavulanic acid], but since pregnancy is an issue, continue till your doctor has advised [since it is safe in pregnancy].2. Allergex [chlorphenamine] is an antihistamine given in allergy [itching] and since it having mild sedative properties and there is no evidence of risk in later trimester [Category B] thus can be safely used.3.. take plenty of fluids,water, eat healthy food, instead of bath tub take shower [since hot bath can kill natural bacteria in your vagina, lukewarm is best].avoid: consumption of sweet-sour-hot food, make less choices for frequent use of dry/rough tampons in vagina. avoid tobacco, alcohol, vaginal douche,. you may/can use yogurt as probioticPS.i. vinegar can help to increase vaginal acidity, mix 2–3 cups of vinegar to bath, and then sit in the bath for approximately 20 minutes to give the mixture enough time to deliver vaginal natural balance.ii. take diet rich in vitamin C [orange,grape fruits,lemons] which can boost your immune system.
