Hi,
Let me tell you that the symptoms described by you suggest that you have Bacterial vaginosis. I would suggest taking antibiotic metronidazole 400mg. I also suggest antibiotics ointment apply locally. I recommend using Cotton undergarments and maintain good hygiene.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
