Patient's question:
Doctor: Hello! My daughter is seven years old. At the beginning of last month, she had thick discharge from her lower genital area, so I took her to the gynecological hospital in the county to be treated. It was vaginitis. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is recommended to conduct bacterial culture to confirm the nature of the infection. After parents notice the condition, they must take the child to the hospital for a thorough examination. Only after the doctor completes a detailed examination of the secretions and finds the hyphae or spores of Candida albicans can a diagnosis be made. It is necessary to stop taking various antibiotics and switch to medications like nystatin for treatment. This will quickly control the condition. To prevent the recurrence of vulvovaginal candidiasis in young girls, parents must pay attention to maintaining good hygiene for the child's external genital area.
