Hai,
Thanks for using health care magic to clear your doubts.Metronidazole vaginal application will cause discharge because the gel itself will cause a sense of leaking & our body's response to the drug clearing infection will cause an increased discharge.This will settle down in a few days. If the symptoms recur, & on internal examination also you have discharge it should be evaluated . Loss of appetite may be due to Anxiety, because metronidazole vaginal application will not have that side effect.
At present you need not worry . Have medical help according to your symptoms.
