Negative gardnerella but still diagnozed with bacterial vaginosis. i had thorough bacterial investigation and only cocobacilla was detected. i was treated with the general antibiotics against bv should the treatment have been different?

Maybe: A local treatment of the problem whereby the medication can be concentrated at the source of the infection first is a second option Systemic antibiotics must be absorbed and transported to the vagina to be effective. It also kills good bacteria in the intestines that protect you from more serious pathogens.
