What Causes My Daughter S Recurring Vaginal Swelling And Pain?

Hi,my 7 yr old daughter woke lastnight complaining of being sore down below.The area she says is hurting is her clitorious.It did look a little raised but not red. This has happened on the odd occassion before,always in the night & I cant think of a cause.The pain is obviously intense because she screams & begs for me to do something until she is exhausted & falls asleep,usually after an hour or two.By morning she is always completely better. We have tried having a cold flannel against her,showerin,sudocrem but nothing gives her any relief at the time.Is there anything you can suggest for if it happens again?

Hi,

Another cause for this could be worm infestation.

I suggest you give Albendazole.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
