Can Erythromycin work for treating bacterial vaginosis?

please advice.

I believe it might be possible, but not all anti-biotics work for any bacteria infection.

Erythromycin and Clavamox are some I know they use for vaginal infections. Clavamox is the first line of defense for yeast infections, but I forget if that is the same thing as vaginosis.

it's an antibiotic. it can CAUSE a yeast infection

Ok. I read that Erythromycin is derrived from penicillin. Penicillin is used to treat bacterial infections. Viral infections have only recently been treated with new antiviral medications, which are small in number because we used to just allow our immune systems to battle them out; sometimes with morbid or fatal results.
Next time, don't leave the doctor's office without understanding why you were prescribed what you were given to take as medicine. You cooled your heels to wait until the doctor could see you. Don't be embarassed to ask questions or feel you are taking up too much time or feel hurried by the doctor. ASK questions and reveal information that will help you get better. With very FEW exceptions, the doctor will not call the police on you for what you say you do, and certainly not for what you don't understand. Better healthcare is your responsibility.
Hope you, or whomever you asked this about, feel(s) better soon.
