Question: My grand daughter of 15 months old has suddenly been comply complaining of pain at the vaginal area in spurts. She has been very play fool and full of energy. This pain occurs mostly in the evening and at times immediately after urination. She has no temperature or unwell XXXXXXX Took her to a local doctor who has given two theories:

1. UTI : for which urine sample has been sent for routine tests and culture. Report is likely to come by tomorrow. She as also been asked to take alkacytrol type of medicine till then. She has been taking it for the sat one day. No improvement.
2. Secondly he observed that she has relatively a smaller pee hole which possibly needs a mall surgery. This is worrisome and I am not dry convinced since she passes urine normally and in good quantity. Do you think such problem could be dur to this also.

Please advice what should we do immediately?

Other information are as under:

She is using diaper and being changed frequently. After this problem, we are avoiding diaper as much as possible.
The vaginal area is slightly swollen and lightly reddish.
When in pain she cries holding or scratching the vaginal area.

Thanks
