Hi, my 3yo daughter has complained of a sore vagina for the last couple of days. It looks a little red but not too bad and I have been using some nappy rash creams before I put on her night nappy. Tonight though I noticed a yellowish discharge on her undies and she did have a smell about her. I myself am 27 weeks pregnant and I think it s thrush I m suffering with so I put a little anti fungal cream on her too. Can I continue with this cream or should I take her to a GP?
Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern, I need to clear few doubts though,1. Is the child itching at the place?2. Is child de -wormed regularly?3. Is there fever?4. Is there difficulty in passing urine?Meanwhile, you may please make the child sit in Potassium permanganate lukewarm water with private parts submerged in it, (sit a tub of water) 2 times a day for 5-10 min After every passage of urine, kindly wash private part with plain water. Do not apply any antifungal cream. Avoid using nappy till problem subsides. In case no improvement she may need consultation with pediatrician. Thanks. If you have any more queries I am happy to answer them. Else, please rate this answer and close the discussion
