Suggest Treatment For A BV Infection

I went into the doctor 4 days after having contact with someone who previously gave me chlamydia, we both took the antibiotics previously and all symptoms on my end were gone. I went back in for a test for cure and the results came back with BV infection. I don t understand how I get a BV infection and if I went in too early to be retested for chlamydia?

3.If fever: Tablet Paracetamol 500 mg BD
4.Tablet cetrizine 5 mg BD orally if itching
5. Maintain hygiene as below:
Wash vagina 4-5 times in a day with warm salted watre
Wear pure cotton loose inner wear.
Wash your vagina with this water twice a day for two to three days with warm water
Apply Apple cider vinegar: it has excellent antibacterial and antifungal properties
Salt Bath- Wash your vagina with concentrated salt water whenever you feel the itch. This will give you great relief instantly and prevent further multiplication of bacteria.
Antibacterial/fungal talcs: apply candid powder
Keeping The Vagina Dry (Not wet, clean well)
