What Causes Abnormal Vaginal Discharge In A Child?
Question: My daughter is 9 years old she is having some vaginal discharge - and is a little red on her skin. I am wondering if this could be bladder infection or yeast infection?
Brief Answer:
Yeast infection possible
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your concerns.
This appears to be an yeast infection. This needs to be treated by antifungal medicines at a later stage if not cured by home remedies..
I suggest let her sit in warm water with antiseptic and salt for a week twice a day for 5 minutes. This will help in reducing infection.
I recommend using medicines only if the above method does not work.
Let me know if you need anymore help.
Regards
