Hi, I think you should take some antibiotic like a combination of cefixime and ornidazole for 10 to 14 days and antifungal drugs like fluconazole orally. Also a vaginal pessary of antibiotic and antifungal drugs like Clinton forte for 7 nights may be needed. Only metrnidazole will not help. Get blood sugar levels checked. You can also take some probiotics. Talk to your doctor regarding this. Hope it helps.
