What Causes Fishy Smelling Discharge In A 13 Year Old?

My daughter is 13 yrs old and has a fishy smelling discharge. No pain and no itching. Not sexually active. She started her period but this event is about 2 weeks after her period has stopped. I am thinking she may have a yeast infection but not sure. Thank you for your consult.

Hi,
It seems that she might be having some infection in her lower genital tract, either bacterial or fungal.
During and after period if local part is not cleaning properly there might be having possibility of infection.
Give her proper education regarding proper hygiene of lower parts.
Apply antibiotic or antifungal cream locally.
Keep local part clean, dry and airy.
During period ask her to change sanitary napkins frequently after proper cleaning.
Ok and take care.
