Patient's question:
My daughter told me the day before yesterday that she felt a little pain when she urinated, and there was also some itching. When I gave her a bath, I specifically checked and found that her vulva was a bit red. I got worried and took her to the hospital the next day to see a doctor. He prescribed some antibiotics and other medications that needed to be administered intravenously.What kind of help do I need: Is it necessary to use antibiotics to treat pediatric vulvitis?
Doctor's answer:
Your daughter is experiencing some pain while urinating, and her external genital area is slightly red. In this case, it is important to first rule out any special infections and then re-examine the discharge for the presence of trichomonas or fungi. For children with vulvitis, the following treatment methods can be used:1. Antibiotic Treatment: Western antibiotics are often the first choice for patients with vulvitis caused by infections. While using antibiotics, topical solutions or ointments can also be used to complement the treatment.
2. Medication Treatment: Vulvitis can generally be treated with antibiotics or topical solutions. The preferred treatment method can be chosen based on the specific condition.
