What medicine should I take for bacterial vaginitis?

Bacterial vaginitis is a relatively common type of vaginitis, which is mainly caused by bacterial infection in the vagina. This causes an imbalance in the microecology of the vagina, resulting in increased leucorrhea and vaginal secretions, as well as vulvar itching and stinging. At this time, anti-inflammatory treatment should be carried out in time. Oral metronidazole and oral clotrimazole can be taken. Of course, you must follow the doctor's instructions.
