how long will it take before I know if the antibiotic is working

I have been taking metronidazole for six days now and still have a discharge. I still have one more day of meds, but should the discharge be gone or does it take awhile to clear up?

It should be clearing up by now.

If it doesn't clear up within the next few days, you should follow up with your doctor.  There is new info suggesting a trich resistance to flagyl, and there is a new medication called tindamax.  Ask your doctor about it if things don't clear up soon.

Oh and if you have a partner, your partner needs to be treated as well, and if you've had sex since starting treatment, you might be re-infected.
