Hello,
If you are not having a fever, red rash, vomiting, or diarrhoea don't worry! The vagina is not sterile.
Normally, there are bacteria that grow there and don't cause symptoms. Staphylococcus is one of those bacteria. Another way to have your whole body safe is to make sure you get a flu shot as soon as possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Arnold Zedd, Pediatrician
