Suggest Cure For Irritation In The Vagina
Hello, my 2 and a half year old daughter was given AUgmentin for 10 days. However, she seems to have an irritation in her vagina (clitoros area) which I believe is a result of the antibiotic. Should I stop givin her the medicine,a nd what should I give her for the irritation (itch of the vagina)?

Hi,
Wash the vaginal area each time she passes urine and apply a mild vaginal creme. Some times acidic urine can cause redness and itching in the vaginal area. A routine urine examination will tell if urine is acidic. A urinary alkalizer is helpful in such cases. Give her a lot of fluids and well hydrated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
