You need to see a doctor and make sure you really have BV, if so then they will prescribe you antibiotics.

Is there a reason you don't want to speak with a doctor? If you're worried about what your mom would say, BV isn't something exclusive to sexual activity-- incase that's the reason you're too embarrassed to go to your parents/doctor about this.
