Patient's question:
A five-year-old girl has abnormal secretions with yellowish, watery stains on her underwear. There is no pain or itching. The hospital tested the secretions and found Mycoplasma and white blood cells. The doctor prescribed metronidazole tablets, which should be crushed into powder, applied to the child's vaginal opening. However, after applying the medication, the child experiences severe pain and avoids the medication because it causes pain and discomfort, making it difficult for her to move her buttocks. Is this pain normal with this medication? Should it be used continuously or discontinued?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help clarify this for you. Based on your situation, the initial consideration is that the child may be allergic to metronidazole. In light of your situation, I recommend temporarily discontinuing the medication and closely observing any mucosal cracking around the child's vaginal area.This is the advice for the question "Five-year-old girl with abnormal discharge, yellowish wet stains on underwear, no pain or itching, hospital visit." I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
