Yes, definetely! These are totally separate areas of the body. If a doctor gave you oral antibiotics, as long as they are compatible with lactation; you should continue breastfeeding. There are plenty of antibiotics that are safe while breastfeeding, so there is no reason why you couldn't continue to breastfeed. You should always let your doctor and pharmacist know you are breastfeeding so they will consider this with your prescription.

Can you use tampons while treating thrush with cream?

No, tampons should not be used during vaginal infection. Your vagina has a very delicate balance of bacteria naturally occuring that keep the vagina healthy, the acidic pH of the vagina kills 'bad' bacteria while allowing the 'good' bacteria that help keep yeast under control to thrive. Tampons can effect vaginal pH so in turn effect normal bacterial balance, they also allow massive bacterial overgrowth and prevent vaginal cleaning - tampons are a major cause of vaginal infections, using tampons when you already have an infection can make it worse, also if flora is off-balance it is more likely that the bacterium responsible for TSS is also present. You can use pads (although it's best to avoid commercial pads such as Always or Kotex as they prevent air-flow and contain chemicals which can allow increase in bacteria and yeast - best to use cloth pads like Lunapads or Gladrags), softcups, or menstrual cups. Tampons are best avoided.

Can vingar help you if you have a discharge?

All cis women have discharge at all times because this is how your vagina keeps itself clean and healthy - it flushes out dead cells, lubricates the vaginal tissues to keep them healthy, and kills harmful bacteria while allowing healthy bacteria to thrive. If you have excessive discharge then it can be a sign of a vaginal infection, as such you need to talk to your doctor.

Can using sented tampons or using soap on you vagina cause dischage and fish odor?

Yes.The vagina is self-cleaning - discharge flushes out excess bacteria, the vagina also has an acidic pH to kill-off 'bad' bacteria while allowing 'good' bacteria to thrive.Anything chemical near your genitals can effect vaginal pH, soaps also can't tell the difference between 'good' and 'bad' bacteria so kill it all, thus causing imbalance in healthy bacteria. Tampons contain various chemicals, also while in use they prevent vaginal cleaning while allowing bacteria the perfect place to thrive. Both soaps and tampons pose very high risk of vaginal infections such as Bacterial Vaginosis, this causes a fish odour - as BV is a bacterial infection it requires antibiotics to treat, if you have symptoms of BV see your doctor.Only ever wash with water, and switch from tampons to menstrual cups.
