HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that you may have an infection but it would be best to wait until your period is over to determine if this the case.
It would be difficult to assess with your menstrual cycle ongoing.
If the discharge persists after this time then a swab can be taken. It is possible that BV (bacterial vaginosis) may be present, this is the more common cause of a discharge with an odor.
This can be treated with topical or oral medications eg metronidazole, tinidazole
I hope this helps
