    Did you tell the doctor you were allergic to penicillin? If not, call his/her office and ask for an alternative medication after you let them know you are allergic. Always give your doctor this type of information.

    Yes they gave me vaginal suppositories to use for 3 nights I could only do 2 nights very painful. Waiting for results from a 2nd swab test that was done. To see if it cleared up. I feel that I still have symptoms. What would you recommend for me?
