My daughter is 31 weeks pregnant and has been diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis. She is allergic to penicillan and so was prescribed clyndamicin but that doesn t seem to have worked. She has another doc appt tomorrow to discuss - I want to be sure we re asking the right questions and would also like to know if there are alternative medications for this infection. Thank you!

Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Bacterial vaginosis in pregnancy should be treated with metrinidazole drug which is given for 7 days. Bacterial vaginosis should be effectively treated as if untreated, it increases the chances of preterm labour and delivery.
I would suggest her to consult an OBGYN specialist for further management.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
