Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

If you are referring to a white vaginal discharge (The area of the discharge was not mentioned) then it is likely a fungal infection not a bacterial infection.

This can be treated with topical creams but if you have used these with no success then you may need a prescription for a different cream or for an oral antifungal such as fluconazole.

Fluconazole is also used for fungal vaginal infection. It the infection continues despite proper treatment, you may need longer term medication

I hope this helps
