Patient's question:
Today I went to the hospital and found out that I have a fungal vaginal infection. I usually wash my clothes together. Please give me a treatment plan from an expert doctor.Doctor's answer:
A 10-year-old girl has developed candidiasis (yeast infection) mainly due to your infection. Candidiasis is a contagious disease. You don't want to wash your clothes together, and your clothes should be washed separately and sterilized before wearing them.Recommendations:
1. Give the child oral ketoconazole or fluconazole, apply nystatin vaginal suppositories to the vulva, and use baking soda water to clean the outer genital area.
2. Pay attention not to share bedding or basins with the child, avoid washing clothes together, and ensure your clothes are sterilized before wearing them.
3. Your husband should also undergo treatment to prevent mutual infection.
I hope my explanation is helpful to you!
