What could thick mucus discharge in genitals of infants suggest?
Patient: my 8 months old baby girl has a thick mucus discharge. she has been having fever all day...up and down, throwing up and lost to appetite. went to the dr and he said it must be a viral infection. two hours ago, i called the dr back because i saw a thick yellowish// green mucus in my baby s private area. ps: i did use a new shampoo on her today. can u please tell me what it may be??? Doctor: Hi, let's not jump to any conclusion... Let's wait and observe... Clean the area with lots of water and leave it open so that if there is any discharge you can see it immediately and the give the sample for testing... If the baby is otherwise normal we can definitely wait and not panick.TC.
