Hi,
You should better get a culture and sensitivity test of the vaginal discharge or high vaginal swab to identify exact causative agent and antibiotics it will be responsive to and if antibiotics are used according to cultures hopefully will clear the infection effectively.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
