Your question: "I have itching around the outside of my vagina,it gets worse when I have my period. Went to my doctor. I was diagnosed with vaginal strep. It can be treated with antibiotics. I am allergic to penicillin. Is there anything else I can take or do for it.

Did you tell the doctor you were allergic to penicillin? If not, call his/her office and ask for an alternative medication after you let them know you are allergic. Always give your doctor this type of information.

Yes they gave me vaginal suppositories to use for 3 nights I could only do 2 nights very painful. Waiting for results from a 2nd swab test that was done. To see if it cleared up. I feel that I still have symptoms. What would you recommend for me?

Definitely call your doctor and let them know what's going on.
