Suffer From Vaginal Discomfort, White Discharge And Burning. On Medication For Bacterial Vaginosis. Soreness And Burning In Urethra

Hi, recently I have been experiencing a lot of vaginal discomfort, like clear/white discharge and burning. I was given medication for bacterial vaginosis, which a culture showed has cleared up. Shortly after I was given antibiotics for a uti. Now I'm having soreness and burning up near the urethra and all over the inside of my vagina with occasional itching. I have gential herpes and am wondering if this could be an outbreak? The doctor said the bv was cleared up and that the only bacteria left was Strep B, which isn't supposed to show symptoms.

; eat well, get enough sleep, drink enough fluids.

Wipe from front to back after urination or bowel movement.
Avoid using deodorant pads or tampons.
Don't use petroleum jelly or other oils for lubricants.
Don't douche the vaginal area
Don't scratch infected or inflamed areas; it can cause further irritation.
If using medication inside the vagina, use it during the menstrual period.
During an infection, use pads rather than tampons if menstruation occurs.
