No, amoxicillin is an antibiotic and does not treat yeast infections. You need an antifungal medication such as clotrimazole or nystatin. In fact, amoxicillin may increase your risks of developing a yeast infection because the antibiotic may interrupt the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina, allowing the normally present yeast to overgrow.
