Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

Milky white discharge is due to fungal infection, while colorless (watery color) is due to a protozoal infection of vagina. However, most of the time, there is mixed infection with both organisms, with even bacterial infection at times.

I therefore recommend that you continue Forcan 150mg once a day for at least 10 days, PLUS Azithromycin 500mg once a day x 10 days; and, Tinidazole or secnidazole for 10days for complete eradication of the infection.

Additionally, fluconazole + secnidazole combination vaginal tabs may be inserted deep into the vagina daily at bedtime, for 10 days.

* Fembio and obimet will not be of much utility, UNLESS you are a diabetic.

Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he agree with me, order required tests, and- based on the reports- will prescribe suitable treatment as advised.
