Have Foul Smelling Vaginal Discharge. Had Taken Amoxycillin. I Am Pre-menopausal. Medication?

Hi I have had a rather foul smelling vaginal discharge now for the past week and as a nurse I have smelt this kind of thing before in a wound on the skin called pseudomonus! I note that it started after taking some amoxycillin tablets for an upper respiratory infection! Which antibiotic can i take for this. It definitely is not a thrush infection. I am now pre menopausal and don t get my periods regularly anymore.

Hello,

Foul smelling vaginal discharge is mostly suggestive of vaginal infection (bacterial vaginosis or trichomoniasis). It should be confirmed.

I suggest to consult with your gynecologist for pelvic exam & vaginal swab test. It will be more worthwhile.

Maintain genital hygiene properly, take oral Metronidazole tablet and vaginal suppository at bed time. Use condom during sex.

In such cases, your partner should be treated properly. Be well and good luck.
