First confirm pregnancy by urine pregnancy test

Now Dettol should not be used to wash vagina
. Go for sugar level checking and let a doctor examine you as the white discharge may be due to candida infection .Before treatment the cause has to be found .After diagnosis you will need medicine to be put inside vagina or to be taken by mouth.
Also ask your sex partner, if he has any penis discharge or any urinary problem. For itching take Levocetrizine 5 mg two times but see doctor soon for diagnosis .
If you have any further query then you can come back to Healthcare Magic, I will definitely help you and guide you appropriately
