How to use medicine for children’s vulvar itching?

When we were young, few parents could truly care about or properly protect their children's private parts because they were too conservative and it was difficult to do so without being embarrassed. This bad behavior still exists today. For example, when children have itching due to various external reasons, parents don’t know how to deal with it correctly. This is not right. In fact, the correct treatment method is very simple, and I will tell you about it now.

Treatment: You can use 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution to wash the vulva. For older female babies, you can let them sit in the bath, 2 to 3 times a day, each time for about 15 minutes. Do not use harsh soaps to scrub. You can also use 1% Cleanse Yin solution. Keep your vulva clean and dry.

If it is a common bacterial infection, erythromycin ointment can be applied locally. Whether oral medication is needed should be done according to the doctor's advice. Special attention should be paid to stubborn and long-lasting vaginitis in young girls, as the possibility of foreign matter in the vagina should be considered.

Prevention:

1. Clean the vulva. During infancy, the child should be washed and dried after each bowel movement. The vulva should be cleaned every night. The bathtub and towel should be dedicated, the water should be clean, and do not use dirty water for washing your face or wiping your body. The most important thing is to wash the baby's buttocks. Use warm water to wash from front to back, and it is best to wash it once a day. Some parents often don't care and often don't wash their children's clothes, while some parents care a lot and wash their children several times a day. Both practices are not advisable.

2. Do not let girls wear open-crotch pants. Underwear should be changed and washed frequently, and kept separate from adult underwear when washing to prevent contamination.

3. When a mother suffers from urogenital diseases such as trichomoniasis and gonorrhea, she should not sleep in the same bed with her child, let alone take a bath together to avoid cross infection.

4. When wiping your child's butt, you should wipe from front to back, not in the opposite direction, to prevent feces from contaminating the urethral and vaginal openings.

5. Let your child wear light-colored underwear for easy observation. If there are yellow scabs or dry pieces on the underwear, there is definitely an infection. The remains of urine are often a uniform yellow color.

6. Do not abuse antibiotics on your own. Use them according to the doctor's orders and do not use them for too long to avoid candidal vaginitis.

7. If you find that a girl's vulva is red, swollen, or injured, or she has vaginal discharge, or that she has urgency, frequency, or pain when urinating, or that she suddenly wets the bed, you should take her to a gynecologist for treatment immediately.
