Hello dear!
I would like to ha e a little detail about the discharge?.is it foul smelling?.how do you know its a yeast infection?Did you go for any tests like culture and sensitivity of the discharge?
If no then i would like to advise this test(culture and sensitivity of the swab that takes the discharge).
If it is minimal and there is no smell then apply fusidic acid containing cream like fusidin after washing the area thoroughly with water and mild soap thrice a day along with syp. vermox 5 ml twice a day for 3 days.
Also rule out urinary tract infection (go for a routine examination of mid stream urine and also culture).
if it is thick,whitish and smelly,apply clotrimazole 1% cream once daily for 7 days
Hope it will help.
wishing your child good health :-)
