2-yr old vaginal odor/yeast/etc - please help
my 2-yr old has had an irritated vagina & butt for 10-months+
1st: dr's visit = yeast cream. didn't work
2nd: dr's visit = pinworm pills (1 then 1 a wk later) + the same cream prescribed again. didn't help
3rd: call to dr = stronger yeast cream called in. didn't help
thought being out of a diaper would help. 3+ wks fully potty trained & still red, irritated & now an odor (from her front)
4th: dr's visit today = pinworm treatment again + hydrocortisone cream. insisted to dr it is something different since pinworm meds & yeast creams haven't worked in past. asked about bacterial infection, he doesn't think so, but prescribed med (think it's an antibiotic). i asked about seeing a specialist, he doesn't think it warrants 1
** we've have seen 3 dif't dr's in same practice for all of this.
please help!
Re: 2-yr old vaginal odor/yeast/etc - please help
first, i try to stick to one doctor when dealing with illness issues, since they've seen it and can see how it progresses. and i'll wait for the appointment with them so it's consistent.
can you call and speak to one of the other doctors and explain your frustration with trying the same treatment and no effect? maybe one of them will refer to a specialist or have another idea.
today was the same dr that gave her the pinworm pills in the past & who prescribed the same cream as was already prescribed by the 1st dr. i feel like staying w/ the same dr is yielding the same diagnosis over & over again.
i'm just out of ideas of wh at to do for her
where can i get acidophilis for kids?
i've also tried to push yogurt on her a lot since this started but that was right around when she started to not be in the modd for yogurt
also iffy about giving her the antibiotic they prescribed in case it's bacterial, because dr doesn't think it's bacterial (think he prescribed it cuz i was insisting we needed something different) & because i'm afraid it will make yeast worse (if it's yeast)
Freeze the yogurt - like GoGurt and make it a treat, like an ice pop.
I'm sorry your dealing with this. Poor baby.
