What should be done if a child gets candidiasis?

Patient's question:

My child is only 11 years old. After a medical examination and tests, it was confirmed that she has candidal vulvovaginitis. Microwave treatment was performed, but it hasn't improved. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: According to the child's condition, nystatin ointment can be applied to the external genital area once a night for 10 to 14 consecutive days. At the same time, fluconazole and itraconazole can be taken orally for treatment. It is essential to pay attention to the dosage, and it is best to follow the doctor's advice for medication. The patient's bath towels, foot towels, and footpots should be used exclusively. Bathtub soaking should be replaced with showering. The patient's clothing should be placed and disinfected separately. Do not wear leather pants, nylon pants, synthetic fabric underwear, or pantyhose.
