Sometimes BV goes away without treatment, but two different antibiotics generally recommended are metronidazole or clindamycin Take these as a single dose or twice a day for five days. Taking the tablets after meals reduce nausea and upset stomach that’s sometimes associated with metronidazole. Avoid drinking alcohol during treatment; however, if you are unable to take metronidazole, physicians can prescribe other antibiotics or vaginal creams, like Tinidazole and Clindamycin.
