my daughter's (8) doctor said she found white blood cells in her urine and was sending the sample to a lab for testing. my girl has had a problem with itching in her private area after a coarse of antibiotics last winter she was treated for yeast and is still having the itching. should I be worried?
Hi dear, thanks for writing to Healthcare Magic!! Itching and irritation is a sign of infection, bacterial or fungal particularly at young age due to lack of hygiene knowledge, I advise as follow: 1) Proper hand wash is must before and after the use of toilets or any contact with private part 2) Use antiseptic solution such as savlon during bath 3) Do not use strong chemical soap 4) For itching use neosporin powder and ice, do not allow her to scratch the area 5) Get the Urine culture done for identification of organism 6) Then according to that antibiotic/antifungal treatment can be taken. Hope this will help you Thanks and regards Dr.Sohil Takodara
