Stopped Taking Metronidazole Pills For BV. Brownish/red Discharge With Itching. Took Monistat. Is This Something Beside Yeast Infection?
I recently stopped taking metronidazole pills for BV last Friday. Four days ago I started experiencing itching. And two days ago I started getting brownish/red discharge, there's little red looking chunks in it (tiny). I heard the antibiotic I was on for BV can cause yeast infections so I started a Monistat 3 combination pack last night. I am continuing the yeast infection treatment, but is this something besides a yeast infection?

Hello,
Sometimes antibiotic treatment causes fungal infection due to killing all the good bacterias will help in controlling fungal infection.
Fungal infection presents will itching, redness and white precipitates and discharge.
Continue the medications.
