Hallow Dear,
The greenish watery vaginal discharge is usually due to Trichomonal infection. This discharge is usually frothy and causes immense itching also. Metronidazole cures this infection. Along with the medicines, please follow the instructions:
1. This infection can be transmitted sexually. Hence both the partners should follow these instructions and get simultaneous treatment.
2. Observe sexual abstinence
3. Shave the private parts clean
4. Boil the underwear daily
5. Use disposable panty liners
6. Clip the nails short
Do not neglect this infection lest the risk of baby getting infection in the eyes or anywhere else.
I hope this gives you message.
