They have used Jieryin for washing and Daqin for applying. After that, they used potassium permanganate solution for washing. It gets better after washing every day, but it recurs after two days. Now they are using salt water for washing. They haven't gone to the hospital for a check-up. What kind of help they want: They want the doctor to tell them what kind of vaginitis the child has and whether they need to go to the hospital for a check-up.Doctor's answer:
From the description, there may be a mold infection, so ordinary medications are ineffective. You can take the child to the hospital for a thorough examination and laboratory test of the discharge after at least 24 hours without cleaning the external genitalia. This will help diagnose the mold infection. After diagnosis, if it is this issue, you will need to use an alkaline solution to clean the external genitalia, such as a 5% sodium bicarbonate solution, and then apply clotrimazole cream twice a day. In most cases, it can be resolved within a week.
