Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Nice to hear from you once again.
Mild itching and water bubble in the vagina can be a normal finding and if not associated with any foul smelling discharge can be left untreated.
In her case as she is having only mild itching for last 3 days it can be due to allergy due to latex present in condom, perfume, soap and sanitary napkins.
So do not give her erythromycin right now.
- She should keep the area XXXXXXX dry and clean.
-Do not use perfumed soap and latex condom.
- Use betadine wash.
-Consume healthly and balanced diet.
If itching persist than she should consult a Gynaecologist and get herself examined and take antibiotic accordingly.
Hope it is useful.
