What should I do if the metronidazole treatment did not work?

Question

Hello, I have had symptoms of vaginosis for a while and after an appointment with my doctor, I took metronidazole for 7 days. I finished my treatment yesterday and I notice that I still have unpleasant odors. They had disappeared during the treatment but they are back this morning.

Hello ma'am, I'm sorry to read about your troubles! However, if the symptoms have returned so soon after the end of the treatment, you will need to see the doctor again. Sometimes longer treatment times are necessary, but the doctor will need to reassess you to confirm the diagnosis. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
