How is bacterial vaginosis treated and what medication works well?

Patient's question:

In the recent few days, the vaginal discharge has turned yellow-green and has a smell like rotten eggs. Is it okay to use Metronidazole Furazolidone Suppositories?

Doctor's answer:

Disease Analysis:
1) Metronidazole 0.2g each time, 3 times daily. Take for 7 days. Also available for vaginal administration.
2) Tetracycline 0.5g each time, 4 times daily orally. Take for 7 days. Tetracycline can also be administered vaginally simultaneously, 2 times daily. Contraindicated in pregnancy.
Recommendations:
3) Telithromycin 0.2g each time, 2 times daily. Take for 7 days.
4) Sulfamethoxazole is a nitroimidazole drug. Take 1g each time, once daily after meals. Take for 15 days.
5) Amoxicillin 0.5g each time, 4 times daily. Take for 7 days.
6) Cefalexin 0.5g each time, 4 times daily. Take for 7 days.
When using any of the above medications, vaginal irrigation with a 0.5% lactic acid or acetic acid solution should also be performed to restore the acidic environment in the vagina and inhibit the growth of the bacteria.
