Patient's question:
My baby is just 7 months old. She has a little discharge from her vulva, some of which is similar to leukorrhea, and it has a slight odor. Is it caused by the use of diapers? We only use them at night and they are Huggies. We clean her buttocks every morning, use diapers during the day, and bathe her at night. Is there any other method?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal discharge in female infants is normal. It's important to maintain cleanliness in the child's external genital area to avoid any issues. Clean the anus and external genital area of the child frequently with warm water. If possible, clean them every night or after each bowel movement.The child is threatened by neonatal diseases, so parents must take the child to a doctor immediately for treatment. Avoid using small advertisements for medicine blindly. Rational medication is necessary. For parents, it's important to observe changes in the child's symptoms and help them receive timely treatment for the disease.
