Bacteria infections & Garlic

Ok so I’ve been using garlic as a natural remedy for yeast infections and I also know it can cure bacteria infections as well. So I have bv and am using the garlic clove to get rid of it. I place the garlic clove inside my vagina at night time and take it out in the morning. With the yeast infection it went away the next morning. With this bacteria infection I’m not sure if it’s going away? The first night I took it out and the discharged went away but odor was still there. The second day I had a big gush of yellow discharge come out of me and for the rest of the day barely had any but there was still odor. Today I’m having like a clearish discharge, not much odor but I still believe some infection is there. My question is how do you know when it is completely gone? I don’t wanna stop treatment and it still be there. And it’s hard for me to tell if there’s still odor with the garlic smell being so strong.
