dear amyka

dont do anything foolish ( sorry for that) abt the yogurt thing

if you have bad odour then it means infection so for that

maintain hygiene that is use clean sanitary naps

take a course of one gram tab azithromycin 2 hrs before food and tab fluconozole 150 mg after food and tab tinidazole 1gm two tab together at night

you should be fine

to prevent re infection your partner needs to be treated and avoid sexual activity during the treatment for three weeks

bye
