A member asked:
If i didn't finish full course of metronidazole for bv and am now resistant,will i always be resistant or can i repeat course in few months?

Not always.: Bacterial flora change, the one you have right now is resistant. But it can change to one that isn't. Lesson learned, always finish antibiotics. Ask your doctor about best antibiotic for your condition next time.
