Detailed Answer:
Hi.... yellowish green vaginal discharge is very unusual in this age group. I suggest you get your grandchild examined by a pediatrician tomorrow, even though there are no other systemic signs and symptoms.

Probably a swab of the region with Grams stain and culture would be a logical choice.

But I can assure you one thing, it is not something very dangerous as the kid is active and playful otherwise.
