Is vaginitis treated with oral medication?

Patient's question:

I went to the hospital for a white discharge test two days ago. The results are as follows:
Cleanliness: 4
Mold: Spores present
Bacteria: Infection
White blood cells: Four "++"
Is this very serious? I want to ask how to treat it. The hospital fees are very high, and the doctor said that if I want to be cured, it will at least cost 1,000 yuan!
I can't afford such a high fee, so I want to consult a doctor if they can give me a prescription for me to compare roughly! Thank you! First follow-up question: However, it has a secondary bacterial vaginal infection.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: If diagnosed with candidal vulvovaginitis, a 2%--4% soda solution can be used daily to rinse the external genitalia and vagina or for sitz baths, with a 10-day course to alter the pH and create conditions unfavorable for the survival of Candida. Then, nystatin should be used, such as in powder, tablet, suppository, or ointment form, inserted into the vagina or applied locally, with a dose of 10--20 million units per time, once nightly, for a 10--14-day course. The external genitalia can be treated with 3% miconazole ointment for better results. Since this condition is stubborn and prone to recurrence, local treatment is generally preferred. Alternatively, oral nystatin tablets can be taken, with a dose of 50--100 million units, three times daily, for a 7--10-day course, followed by a follow-up to confirm three negative results before considering it cured.
