i had fever for days and was coughing.
i went to a doctor and he wanted me to undergo blood test and urine testing.
urine was normal.
for the blood testing he said based on the results i had bacterial infection.
he gave me cough medicine and antibiotic.

i had pneumonia and bronchitis when i was younger and i know these are specific diagnoses.

but can just "bacterial infection" be an accepted diagnosis?

thanks in advance. =)

I am NOT a pill person, want something natural

I have been having bad odor sometimes when I have sex or after my period go off. I do take bath and clean it but it seem not to help. I have also been getting vagina discharge. Two years ago, I was told I had HPV but my last pap was okay. Now i’m 9 monthls late from taking my pap and I don’t know if the HPV came back. I am going to set an appointment to take it next week. Do you think I just have bacterial vaginosis?

is there something i can buy from walgreens to get rid of Bacterial Vaginosis. just something over the counter

get out of your system and for you to be able to drink alcohol without getting sick?
your birth control to become as effective as it was before taking the anti biotics? (demulen 30)
does my boyfriend need to get tested/treated for any bacterial infections if i had bacterial vaginosis?

My sister’s boyfriend of five months has fingered her on many occasions and did not wash his hands before fingering. He has also given her oral sex a few times. He tried once to have intercourse, and there was some genital to genital contact, but no full penetration. For a few months she’s been complaining of vaginal itching, some redness, and discharge. She’s seen a physician who examined her vagina (no pap smear or pelvic exam, just observation). She gave her some suppositories for yeast infection. She didn’t like taking the suppositories, so stop taking them. Her boyfriend, by the way, have been tested for HIV, gonorrhea, and chlamydia and his tests came out as "non-reactive" and negative. I’ve been reading online about vaginitis and I urged her to go to the clinic since she was still having vaginal itchy. She just saw a nurse practitioner who looked at her vagina and said it looked like a yeast infection. My sister asked if it could possibly be BV but the nurse said BV has a fishy odor. So the nurse prescribed a pill to treat yeast infection. So she gave her another prescription for yeast infection.

Anyway, it is very unlikely that she has BV?

Well, I’m having a discharge that is yellow sometimes and other times it is white and it smells really bad. But it’s not fishy. This is really embarrassing but it smells more like feces. It’s horrible and people around me can smell it. Could this still be bacterial vaginosis even if it’s not fishy?

It seems like everytime i treat myself with a store bought cure for bacteria vaginosis or a yeast infection i will still end up with a odor soon after intercourse with my boyfriend in time . I’m a clean person i wash up after everytime we have sex how do i prevent from having odor without stopping my boyfriend from cumming in me ? Is this a normal issue to have from unprotected sex?
