General & Family Physician,  's  Response
hello crystal, since you are have already have had quite a few treatments, i would suggest you have a microscopic examination of your discharge done along with vaginal pH. this will give you xactly what is causing the discharge.
in the meantime you can take Metronidazole (500mg) tab twice daily for 7 days, avoid smoking and alcohol while your taking these medicines
oral lactobacilli probiotics and o.c.p are also said to reduce recurrence
and please avoid sex as sex increases thrush also if u are having multiple partners, its best you avoided them if you dont want to have a life long thrush.
take care and stay safe
