Patient's question:
Please ask the doctor:My daughter is 4 years old. How often should a child wash their external genitalia?
First follow-up question: But if it's not washed for a long time, it smells. Please ask the doctor, is the odor of a child's external genital discharge a sign of bacterial infection?
Second follow-up question: Please ask the doctor, what antibiotics are relatively safe for a 4-year-old child to take and have little impact on their body?
Doctor's answer:
From the situation you described, it is likely caused by inflammation. At this time, it is recommended to use some topical washing medications for treatment. It is not advisable to store children's and adults' clothing together at this time. It is recommended to clean the external genital area of the child every night and change underwear daily. At the same time, it is suggested to promptly check at the hospital for the occurrence of vaginal inflammation and use anti-inflammatory medication for timely treatment. Additionally, appropriate cleaning solutions should be used for combined treatment, which tends to be quite effective.
