Mild BV and unsure of treatments

so I went for a pap and doc says I have mild bacterial infection. I have been having some symptoms since then (Monday) so decided to get the antibiotic. however the pills are huge and the side effects sound horrid! will otc creams work just as well? thanks in advance!

otc medicine wont work hun

you need the antibiotics thats the only thing that ever worked on me!

over the counter never worked for me neither did oral tablets i had to have a vaginal antibiotic cream

thanks everyone.
i think ill try the otc anyway and then decide by the weekend if I’m going to take the pills or not.
I could always call the doc and ask her to change my RX to the antibiotic cream.
I really want this cleared up before going on vacation in 3 weeks!

how was the antibacterial cream?

antibiotics made me sick before so I’m extra nervous.

i want to know what OTC you will try im curious

the cream worked iv not had bv for 10 months now it worked after the first dose

I did canesten bv cream. tried it last night and so far so good.
burned for a sec . Will keep going.

great news! i did first dose last night and it went well.
fingers crossed!

the otc cream or RX cream?

prescription clindamycin
