A member asked:
Why does my vagina smell like death, the doctors prescribed me to ammoxacillan because they said its an infection, but its not working?

Wrong antibiotic: Bacterial vaginosis (bv) is the most common vaginal infection. It is an overgrowth of normal vaginal bacteria, not a sexually transmittthesis ease. The vaginal pH gets elevated releasing the fishy odor. It is easily fixed with antibiotics but Amoxicillin is not one of them that will work. Metronidazole or clindamhcin would be better choices. Ask to be tested for bv.
