Hello Jennifer, First...Thank God for never having a yeast infection. I don't want to freak you out either...
I think it's probably from the meds, but after 8wks/2mons the meds should be out of her system. My daughter is 9.5 we found out her nunu was closed at age 5 and even after 2 surgical procedures she still has redness and discharge. (I have chronic cystitis and thought it might be hereditary, but it is not.) I use premarin on her periodically and by morning it's gone. After changing peditricians we finally found out that in some cases it's normal and a sign of their little bodies trying to go into puberty earlier than normal. Try monistat on her and if that doesn't clear it up I would take her to the doctor.
I hope everything goes well! Carol C
Yes the anibiotics can do that but my daughter had a vaginal discharge from time she was a baby and the dr said it was nothing to worry about. she out grew it.
Jennifer,
It could be a yeast infection or something much worse, A seven year old should not be having vaginal issues. Who is she expoped to? Any young males, uncles, Dads friends hangin out? Food for thought not to scare you but there are a lot of sick people in this world!
If she were my child I would take her to Dr. ASAP.
If Dr. finds its only a yeast infection you can use acidlfilous (spelling) there is another product for female bacterial issues. go to www.naturessunshine.com look under female health, or go to health food store I'm sure they have this stuff in liquid form.
Good luck let us know what happened.
I have heard some scary stories about this kind of thing at this age(my daughter is 8) they tend to find themselves and i heard stories of kids putting things down there and this can cause an infection. If she has had a yeast infection for that long she must not be getting any sleep and must be pretty fussy, try to cut back on sugar and yes if she likes it give her plenty of yogurt you may even put it in her bath with a cap full of tea tree oil it really helps with the itch. I used to get yeast infections all the time until i used yogurt and tea tree oil as treatment. I would not try to stay away from over the counter meds at that young age they can cause a resistance to them with prolonged usage, take her to her ped and ask for nystatin if it gets too bad or doesn't go away with yogurt.
I would take her to the doctor. Our 3 year old girl had a very red bottom and bumps around her anus. Turned out to be a form of strep - which cleared up quickly with antiobiotics. Good luck.
Definitely take her to the doctor. IF you don't make a big deal of it she won't. I had serious kidney/bladder infections as a kid and my urethra grew together several times. I have never thought a thing about the exams. because my mom didn't make a big deal about it.
IF she has a yeast infection untreated it could cause life long problems. If that is what it is every time she takes even one dose of an antibiotic she will need oral medication to prevent this.
LEt us know what happens, good luck
If she were an adult, I would say try the other suggestions. But, she is 7. Take her to her pediatrician immediately. If she is hurting, you might use some of the over the counter stuff for itching and dryness for females until you can get an appointment, but do not use any the day of the appointment. She may need another antibiotic, or just something for yeast. Don't let her pee before the appointment so if the doctor wants a urine sample, she will be able to pee then. The doctor needs to see the discharge, and possibly culture it, so give her a bath the night before, but dont clean her up right before the appointment.
Hi Jennifer,
I suggest you take her to see her pediatrician. It could be a number of things. The physician will handle her compassionately and explain what is going on. They may want to get a culture just to check it out.
Definitely take her to her doctor.
Take her to the docotor.
It could be a yeast infection, but it might not be.
Sounds like yeast. Try an OTC product for a few days and see if it helps. Don't worry. Its not a crisis. We see it all the time in our patients who are older that have taken a course of antibiotics.
Hi Jennifer,
Sounds like what my daughter had when she was 6. I recommend going to the doctor. You want to rule out any serious problems. My ped. told me it was a bacterial infection and that it was caused by a very low ph in the vaginia. He recommended I stop the bubble baths. Have her lather up and rinse off, don't sit around in the soapy water. She's been showering ever since...He prescribed a sitz bath twice a day using "Domeboro" powder packets, you can get it otc at the pharmacy. It worked great! I also got her some Kefir (live cultures) try the strawberry and blueberry smoothies. I'm sure it's nothing serious, but definitely see your ped. Hope that helps!!
Best wishes~
I'm not a doctor, of course, and the only reason I am responding is from my own personal experience. It is possible she could have a UTI or urinary tract infection. I was very prone to these and still am. A lot of times, especially with young girls, this happens a lot from wiping the wrong way (back to front instead of front to back). Discharge like that can be associated with UTI. Ask her if it burns when she urinates. If so, I'll bet that's what it is.
At first we all tend to think any kind of discharge that isn't normal (especially in a girl that age) would be a yeast infection or something more intimidating. Unless you are prone to UTIs like I am, it probably wouldn't be the first thing you think about associated with discharge. I have found that UTI can often follow the same symptoms as a yeast infection. Either way, I hope it clears up for your daughter!
I hope it works out for you, and please let us know what you find out.
thank you everyone for your prompt responses! i did take my daughter to the doctor today (the soonest they could get her in) and since i had been treating her “bumps” (there were 2, looked like little pimples) with monostat 7, they were almost gone and her vaginal discharge had went away a several days ago. so, the doc said, she probably had a yeast infection, but was fine now. also, to make sure she gets herself rinsed well while bathing, and be careful with tights and leggings this time of year. so, great report! thanks for all your advice and support, it’s so wonderful to have other mothers, women, (a pediatric nurse! 
to turn to for help. ~~xoxo
