What Causes Itching Sensation In Vagina And Anus Area?
Question: Hi,
My daughter was suffering from middle ear infection 3 weeks back and was on antibiotics for 2 weeks to clear that up.
After that she was suggested to take
1. Montair LC (once a day)
2. Nosonex spray (twice a day)
for next one month. Last week she complained a lot of itching in her vaginal and anus area. The skin was very red and had some white discharge. We applied Surfaz cream for 3 days twice a day and when the redness suppressed new skin came up there. We applied borolene and sprinkled Absorb powder there for last 4 days.
The itching has gradually come down but not gone away fully. Today morning she complained of pain in the vaginal area while passing urine and again a lot of itching.
The redness wasn't there.
She again got cold from day before yesterday so we are giving following medication as of now:
1. Relent syrup twice a day
2. Budesal nebulization twice a day
3. Nasonex spray twice a day
What should be done immediately to put her to relief from pain and itching as she has got doctors appointment for tomorrow evening only.
