What is the cause and treatment for vaginal infection in a child
Patient: Hello: My two daughter came home today without any indication of an infection in her vaginal area. But this evening she started complaining hurt. I asked her to show me where and she touched her vagina. I bathed her and checked her out before and after. She appears to have a yeast infection (which I did not notice earlier this evening) and a fishy order. She has never had a yeast infection before so I m not sure what s going on. She is potty training, please help. Thank you in advance. Doctor: Hi,Having fishy odor with pain might be due to some irritation produced by itching on the part.This can be due to local unhealthy hygiene.Clean local part with water and apply antibiotic cream.Make a habit of cleaning local part with running water after passing bowel and urination.Do not allow her to play in clay or dusty play ground.Ok and take care.
