Hello
Welcome to health care maic.
Sorry to know about your condition.

Bacterial vaginosis needs the first line treatment with flaglyl for atleast 10 days.As you said,burning sensation has gone but green discharge still there.You need to wait till the treatment is completed.

If the symptoms still persists,second line treatment can be started with higher antibiotics.Meanwhile,it would be advised to have a vaginal swab microcopy ,culture and drug sensitivity done again to know about persisting infection and antibiotic resistance.
Also control of any underlying medical condition like diabetes mellitus will be required.

Hope this helps.Feel free to ask any more doubt if you have.
