What Is The Treatment For Urinary Tract Infection In A Child?
My 3 year old daughter had a UTI a few weeks ago and started itching in her vaginal area last week. Her doctor suspects a yeast infection so for the last two days we ve given her baking soda baths, used glyph-loyrimin (doctor s recommendation, and she s sleeping without underpants to air out. Tonight after her bath she started crying and saying that her vaginal area was hurting - the rash hadn t changed and she has no temp. It didn t seem like the same UTI pain she experienced, but she was very uncomfortable. I gave her Tylenol, but it didn t seem to help. I m waiting for the doctor s call back service to call, but I am feeling impatient and sad for my baby girl. Is this a normal symptom for a pediatric yeast infection? Should I do something differently?

Hi dear, you can check urine analysis, vagina culture for flora and sensitivity to antibiotics, then you will definitely know .It seems as Candidiasis, apply Clotrimazole twice a day,if she will uncomfortable, then mix with Jonson cream and apply twice a day for 5 days, it will take time.
