How I can tell the infection is gone
a green discharge is usually Trichomoniasis and is not Bacterial VAginosis. Metronidazole can be used to clear this infection however. This might be something entirely different for you so I'm not going to give you advice directly.
If I have a bacterial infection I have to be on antibiotics until I'm symptom free for three full days: meaning no odor. If I have the odor for any days less than three on the antibiotics it comes right back.
This however doesn't even apply anymore because I required such extended doses of Metronidazole and literally had to beg my doctor for extra medication when I moved and changed doctors. They low balled me for so long and so many times with not enough medication, that the bacteria became resistant. Thank you doctor, I'm glad that you took the fax from my previous doctor so seriously and permanently screwed up my life.
