Hi XXXXXXX i wasnt able to access the site you named. If i understand correctly, you had an infection? I had advised you to use pessaries. Thats a type of vagina tablet that could be antibiotic based also. It is to inserted into the vagina. Dont be confused with vaginal ring pessary which was a device used in vaginal prolapse cases. You can ask the drug store to give you antifungal vaginal tablets.
