Yep it sounds like you have vaginal thrush as well.

I have the flu at the moment and that was enough to tip my internal chemistry (despite probiotics) and give me thrush too.

I never notice a lot of discharge on the outside of things, just the burning and itching first.

I'd say it's probably best to get a thrush treatment to clear it up 100% as you don't want to be passing it between the both of you forever :-)

I am on a Canesten cream/pessary 6 day treatent at the moment. I noticed the difference after day one, it's clearing it up very fast.
