Can I Use Candid-B Instead Of Onabet-B For Fungal Infection?

Hi

I am sushma.I am 28.I am suffering from fungal infection for the past 2 weeks.Doctor prescribed me a cream called Onabet-B.But when I apply this cream at night it gives a kind of irritation and I am not able to sleep.Earlier when I had the same problem for which i was asked to use Candid-B.I actually feel relieved when I use candid-B. Could u please let me know if both the creams are same and if I can continue using candid-B?

Hello,
I would advise you to use plain anti fungal cream like CLOTRIMAZOLE and avoid creams mentioned by you as they have steroids in it.
Since you are having this problem for past 2 weeks,it would be better to take oral antifungal also like FLUCANAZOLE 150 mg every week for 4 weeks.
Thanks
