Need more info: Bacterial vaginosis is common & sometimes tough to treat. Please return to your OB/GYN to be reexamined to look for more causes of the infection.

Alternatives: Intravaginal boric acid, a 600 mg capsule once nightly for 14 days may be able to help with your problem. This medication is not FDA-approved for this purpose and must be made by a compounding pharmacy. Boric acid can be fatal if swallowed rather than used intravaginally, so be careful around children. Still it's a worthwhile option when all the antibiotics don't work.
