Bacterial vaginosis is often misdiagnosed at home as a yeast infection and over the counter remedies are often tried before going to a physician. Bacterial vaginosis is treated with antibiotics. Amoxicillin can be used for treating this infection, but it is not a first line treatment and is oftentimes not effective. Physicians usually prescribe Flaygl or Cleocin to treat this infection.

I had persistent recurrent BV for 6 months, used flagyl repeatedly, and all those home remedies everyone has heard of, to no avail. Then I went to see my ear, nose and throat doc for a sinus infection, and was prescribed Avelox. Not only did my sinus infection clear up, but so did the bv, and it has not recurred since!
