What Causes Foul Vaginal Smell In Children

Hi my daughter (5) has an aroma of fish around her, we checked andits coming from the vagina area. My wife has taken her to the doctors and they took a wee sample. They tested it ?? and sai one of the 3 tests was positive and it normally isnt in a child of that age. I am not in the country at the moment and the doctor told my wife it was POSITIVE and nothing else i.e never elablorated on what was positive Can You assist as im away for another 3 weeks and am clearly concerned as a dad.

Hi...by what you say it could be urinary tract infection or a fungal infection of the vaginal area. Both are easily treatable and I have a few questions for you. Kindly get back to me so that I can guide you better.

Questions -

1. Has there been any fever?
2. Does she handle the genitals frequently?
3. Do all of you - adults and children use same linen and towels after bath at home?
4. Is there any itching or redness in the local area?
5. Is there any vomiting and pain abdomen?
