Hi,

You should insert Tab Betadine vaginal pessary in vagina to disinfect the vagina even if the bleeding still continues, drop tampon for this time and take sanitary towels to be changed minimally 3 times in a day. Use the pessaries for at least 7 days. Keep genital area clean have wash every time after toilet. DO NOT take douche. In case the foul smell remains after this consult your gynecologist for specific oral medication.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
