Suggest Treatment For Swollen Painful Clitoris

My 19 month old who is solely in my care has a very swollen and painful clitoris area. She has been doing a form of humping before bed for the last few months but ger pain has just recently come about. She also tested positive for the flu yesterday and an ear infection. Is the swollen clitoris and the flu related? How can I help heal it? She has had many wet diapers, not foul smelling and no discharge. But I cannot change her, wipe her, bathe her or cleanse the area in any way without sheer terror and screams that I have never heRd before. I am truly concerned, please help

Hi...this seems like a skin and soft tissue infection of the clitoral region.... Its otherwise called cellulitis. I suggest you consult your pediatrician or physician as soon as possible. This might require oral antibiotic therapy.
