My five-year-old daughter often has discharge from her external genitalia. What's wrong?

Patient's question:

Vaginal discharge, yellow and smelly

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the symptoms suggest the occurrence of vulvovaginitis in young girls. A gynecological examination can confirm the diagnosis. Currently, medication cannot be administered vaginally. You can take anti-inflammatory drugs, use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning, pay attention to hygiene, change underwear frequently, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
