I ve been to the gynecologist twice in the past month for what I believed to be a simple bacterial infection...however, symptoms returned soon after the single dose of metronidazole, and never left with the 7 day course...what could be wrong? Do I need to return for more testing, or might it be a simple allergic reaction to a soap or fabric softener?
Hello, THX to contact us. If I am your doctor I would like to advice you that this may be reaction to various agents as you have mentioned like soap or fabric softer. I advise you to leave the agent one by one and check if your symptoms decreases. If you find helpful with it than with Chat Doctor.  You had already taken the metronidazole tablet, so there is no chance of bacterial infection now. Please maintain the hygiene also in genital area. If you have anything else to ask please contact me.
