Patient's question:
Doctor, my niece is almost ten years old this year. It seems she has been feeling a bit unwell recently. She went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was told she has vulvitis. They advised her to pay more attention to hygiene. I would like to ask the doctor, how can vulvitis in children be relieved? Is there any medication needed?Doctor's answer:
Children with vulvitis should be advised to pay attention to hygiene, not to touch with their hands, and to change underwear frequently. Sunlight drying or sterilization if possible. Use warm water to rinse the vulva or use mild-stimulating sterilizing liquid to dissolve and rinse the vulva. Pay attention to protecting the hymen from damage. Oral antibiotics can also be taken for combined treatment, such as Amoxicillin granules. If there is no improvement after three days, it is recommended to go to the hospital for further diagnosis.
