Hello,
It should be safe for you to use an anti-fungal cream (like Clotrimazole) for what sounds like a yeast infection. Usually it is recommended not to have intercourse or use tampons for 2 weeks after a surgical abortion, but as long as you don't put the cream too deep in the vagina, you should be fine.
If you start experiencing any pain, I would stop and let your doctor know about what is going on.
I hope that helps, please let me know if you have any other questions and I would be glad to help any way I can.
Regards,
Dr. Aaron Branch, General & Family Physician
