Hello!
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Thick, white discharge is common at the beginning and end of your cycle. Normal white discharge is not accompanied by itching.
If itching is present, thick white discharge can indicate a yeast infection but in this case it last up to 1-2 week not only 2-3 days as you said.

If this white odorless discharge happens only 2-3 days in one month and you don't have other symptoms such as itching,pain during intercourse,lower abdominal pain than you don't need to worry.

Just to be sure you can do a test(vaginal swab) to exclude a possible vaginal infection.

Hope my answer has helped.
Take care.
