Brief Answer:
She might grow out of this - don't worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi....Thanks for your trust in me.

Sometimes this white discharge could occur due to some infections which I put forth here - The symptoms of these infections can be very similar, but there are some differences to look for:
1. Yeast (fungal) infections may cause your discharge to become very white and thick, resembling cottage cheese. A yeast infection usually does not cause a strong odour, but it may cause severe itching and burning.
2. Bacterial vaginosis (BV) may cause your discharge to have an unpleasant, fishy odour. The fluids may be thin and grayish in colour.
3. Trichomoniasis, a common sexually transmitted disease (STD), may cause strong odour. Discharge may become yellow-green and may become frothy. Trichomoniasis also often causes vaginal itching and pain during urination. This is best treated with Metronidazole. I have treated a similar case in my clinic and after using Metronidazole in the appropriate dose and duration, it never came back again. It works well.

The other possibility is that many of the times we do not arrive at any specific diagnosis. Unfortunately, such symptoms do occur in very young girls for no obvious cause and they literally grow out of them with time.

I would like to know if you have visited a gynaecologist and got her examined properly to rule out the possibility of a foreign body, (eg a bead/ pencil or any nut etc) since young children aged two or five do have a habit of putting small things in odd places or in ears or nostrils etc. This could cause a recurrent white discharge, but few other symptoms. This might respond to antibiotics and will come back again.

I suggest meanwhile to use sitz bath...its simple...pour XXXXXXX warm water in a tub and add few table spoons of salt to it and make the kid sit in it for few minutes every day and you can repeat it more than once.

Another suggestion is that - you can discuss the possibilities I put forth with your regular doctor and get Metronidazole prescribed as it is a prescription drug.

I wish your kid a speedy recovery. If you need any future medical consultation and suggestions, I will be glad to help. You can approach me at the following link. Please find the link below.

Brief Answer:
Dont worry - its normal

Detailed Answer:
Hi...Don't worry.
CBC report is normal. You did not upload any urine report.
But be rest assured. Ketone and protein traces is also normal in urine.
This is not related to her white discharge.

Regarding fever - Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active.

Regards - Dr. Sumanth
