Hello,

In my opinion, it is advisable to see a gynecologist at this point. The foul vaginal odor could be indicative of an infection. It's a good idea to get some vaginal swabs taken to check for an infection. Then you could be started on antibiotics before it gets any worse. Also, drink a lot of water and if you start having burning while you urinate, definitely visit your doctor.

Antibiotics have their side effects, and if you take antibiotics in the absence of an infection, it could put you at risk of infections that are resistant to antibiotics in the future. So please do visit a doctor. He/she will put you on Metronidazole and Ceftriaxone.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pranav Balakrishnan
