See your ob gyn: You would need to get tested to verify for BV then get a prescription for BV i'd that's what is causing your diacharge. If you have been treated for it you need to wait sometime 14 days after starting the treatment to see a significant change in discharge. If it continues to persist you need to go back to your ob/gyn for further evaluation.
