Suggest Opinion On Recurrent Bouts Of Thrush In 6 Year Old

A year ago, my young daughter (aged 6) made allegations against her father (my estranged partner) and another man who, she said, had been taking nude pictures of her. She doesn t remember being molested at all (and we don t know if she actually was) but at the time she was suffering recurrent bouts of thrush but since overnight contact stopped I have not had to go to the doctor once about this. She does have occasional redness and I m having to work on her hygiene in that area. I m told that thrush is a common problem in young girls and other medical professionals say it s not. I m confused - who is right, please?

Report Abuse
Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thrush can occur in pubertal girls more often than in very young children. That is the truth. Other than that, I was unable to understand the question. Why did you mention the first part of the question unless you suspected sexual abuse. In any case, treatment with local antifungal creams like clotrimazole is the only treatment available.
