B.V. and antibiotics?!

B.V. and antibiotics?

Does anyone have any knowledge of antibiotics??

I sometimes get an infection called bacterial vaginosis. Last night, I started to notice signs that I once again have this infection. Anyone who has ever had this or experience with this knows that it can be an inconvience or embarassement.

My boyfriend was perscribed an antibiotic a couple of weeks ago and never bothered to take them. They are Cephalexin 500mg. Because I noticed my symptoms late last night and today is a holiday and I don't know how soon I will be able to get into see my doctor, I have started taking his antibiotics.

I know this isn't the smartest idea ever, but I feel like right now this is my only option.

Does anyone know if these antibiotics will help me at all or harm me, cure me....am I possible taking them for no reason at all?

B.V. is NOT an std.

It is an ph imbalance within the vagina. The imbalance of good and bad bacteria can be caused by sexual intercourse, but is not an std.

Taking someone else's antibiotics is the WORSE thing you could do to yourself, especially with bacterial vaginosis! Without a large amount of water entering your body everyday, antibiotics will only make your condition worse. I'm currently on antibiotics and my doctor told me to make sure to drink plently of water or I could possibly get a yeast infection. His antibiotics are for whatever condition HE has, be patient and wait until tomorrow or go to ER today if you can't wait another 24 hours. PLEASE STOP TAKING HIS MEDICINE. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!
