I wouldn't say any type of infection is normal, since they have the potential to be dangerous.

As to the Fluconazole, it is an antifungal medication, so whether or not it will help depends on the specific type of infection you have. When treating staph, it is usually used in combination with other medications.

Ref: Medline Plus Fluconazole

The FDA warns that Fluconazole may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, and diarrhea.

Are you on any other medications?
