Is candidiasis vaginitis contagious to children?

Patient's question:

My son, who is 19 months old, sleeps in a bed every day.

Doctor's answer:

Candidal vulvovaginitis. Attention should be paid to personal hygiene, changing underwear frequently. Used underwear, basins, towels, etc., should be boiled and dried in the sun. Apply an alkaline solution with 2% to 4% sodium bicarbonate solution to the external genitalia and vagina, then insert 100,000 to 200,000 units of nystatin suppositories into the vagina once a night, for a course of 10 to 14 days. Vulvovaginitis is a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek immediate treatment and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
