Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.

I had gone through your question I can understand your concern about your vaginal infection.

If the infection was diagnosed by bacterial culture done then there is no need to use it. As I can understand too that you must be on antibiotics like levofloxicin or other.

As we can understand the prescription and use of antifungal medication. It must have been prescribed to prevent any fungal infection because this region prone to fungal infections.

There is no dangerous problem using antifungal cream if there is chances of infection.

Hope your query is answered and write us back if you feel any further assistance is needed.
