How should I handle vaginitis in my 5-month-old baby?

Patient's question:

My baby is 5 months old and has vaginitis. The doctor prescribed oral metronidazole tablets to be inserted into the vagina. Last night I inserted them, and this morning there was vaginal bleeding. Why is this happening?

Doctor's answer:

The causes of vaginal bleeding can be several, such as damage to the vaginal wall or menstruation. For this condition, it is still recommended to have a re-examination before determining the treatment. If there are any issues, please feel free to ask. Best regards.
When patients are directly affected by vaginitis, we should actively implement thorough examinations and treatment, without avoiding medical visits. If vaginitis does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly switch to an alternative treatment plan.
