See dr: It is not clear that apple cider vinegar would help your problem you should see your dr and get checked for BV and other infections you might need an antibiotic.

Vinegar: Vinegar has been used to treat yeast infection but not bv, so as considine stated, you'd better have it checked with your doc.
