Trichozole is a type of antibiotic, and sometimes these can take up to 5-7 days to provide relief of symptoms. Did your doctor explain to you what you could expect from the medication?
The medication should not be causing any pain or itching, but rather, the condition you are being treated for can cause itching. Are you experiencing any NEW symptoms since taking the medication? (I assume you were experiencing itching before starting the medication, when you were diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis).
Please call your doctor and tell him/her that you are having new symptoms with pain and itching that have worsened since taking this medication (if this is true?). The nurse on-call could also provide some suggestions on how to take the pain/itch away while the medicine takes a few days to relieve symptoms (ice packs, and there are some topical sprays/ointments that are over-the-counter, but you would need to make sure and ask the nurse/doctor first, as there could be drug interactions or it could worsen your symptoms).
If the pain and itch do not go away after taking the medication for a few more days, you can ask for more tests. Was a culture taken, to identify the exact organism (in this case, a bacteria) that is causing your symptoms?
