Brief Answer:
Normal discharge.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
After a cauterization procedure the mild brownish watery discharge is a normal finding and is not suggestive of an infection. This can persist for 3-4 weeks and it gradually subsides on its own as the cervix heals. Antifungal cream will not heal.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
