Beta Streptococcus Group B

Hello there, my Doctor had recently diagnosed me with having "Beta Streptococcus Group B". This originated back in August 2003 from taking an anti-biotic that could possibly cause yeast infections. I didn't have signs of a yeast infection, but my Doctor said that's what it was regardless (without testing). After several variations of vaginal gel and after numerous tests (4 within 3 months), she finally came up with Beta Streptococcus Group B. What upsets me about this is that she wouldn't treat it (until I pleaded) because it's apparently normal and it's only a problem if I were with child. Since August I have been dealing with massive 'gooey' discharge and an absolute HORRID smell. I have to wear pantyliners everyday, which I shouldn't have to. The smell is starting to interfere with my work, my social life and my personal life. People notice it. I shouldn't have to live like this. After reminding my Doctor of this she prescribed an anti-biotic several times, Amoxicillin, and that is not working, but yet everytime I tell her this I have to go back in for another test to get the same results and have the same debate with my Doctor over treating me. It's not getting better and I'm not satisfied with an answer of "It's natural". It needs to be treated. I cannot live the rest of my life like this. So my question is, is there an effective treatment for this?
Many Thanks
