Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion vaginal infection you got is fungal infection ie.,candidiasis.Candidiasis is the most common infection in pregnancy.And for this infection in pregnancy clotrimazole cream and betadine lotion are given.Dont worry they are not harmful.You can safely take them.Dont worry it will subside.
