I saw in some articles that coconut oil and honey is anti fungal. im also using anti fungal ointment . should i use coconut oil and honey after using antifungal ointment?

Coconut oil and honey are not likely to be contaminated with fungi, but they have no effect at all in treatment of fungal infections. In fact, they might interfere with the anti-fungal ointment. Use only the ointment. Check with your doctor if that doesn't seem to be helping. Good luck.
