I think my daughter and I have vulvitis, vaginitis or vaginosis. Is it okay to put a 2 year old on Canesten? What are my options?

Question

For my part, itching and more white/yellow vaginal discharge, no smell. For my 2 year old daughter, she says "boo" a few times when we try to clean her vulva, Daddy thinks it smells bad.

Good evening ma'am, You can use Canesten™, but for your daughter it is best to refrain. In fact, children this age very very very very rarely get yeast infections. More often, the pain comes from a local irritation, a break in the skin or even a urinary tract infection. In any case, if your daughter has been complaining of this pain for more than 4 days, I recommend you seek medical attention right away. If it's been less than 4 days, we'll wait a bit before consulting. But in the meantime we will apply nothing on the vulva. Good evening to you, Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
