Hi,

The brownish discharge from vagina could indicate old blood coming out which gets oxidized over time. There is nothing to worry about it. However, I would advise you to continue the course of antibiotic as there might be an element of infection there.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
