No - Don't use that: As a general rule, don't self prescribe antibiotics. Also, if they are prescribed to girls for a uro-genital infection, the reduced bad smell is from the absence of infection, not the drug. Just clean with soap ; water or baby oil. Consider diet choices too. Try not to worry if there is no other symptom.
