Pediatric Yeats Infections & triclosan and other anti-bacterails, should OTC drugs be used.From: Stephen (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon, 21 May 2001 22:18:31 -0500 (CDT)
My daughter was preccribed Augmnetin for a serious ear infection. After using the prescribed medication for over 15 days she developed what appears to be a yeast infection. The doctor told me not to use an OTC such as Gynolotrimin or Monistat but rather should be given a lot of yogurt, aqnd a sitz bath with vinegar. Beinag a male single parent of my 3and a half year old daughter, I refrained from trying the sitz bath. However tonight after her bath I tried using "Vaseline Intensive Care Anti-Bacterial Hand Lotion" applied only externally to the outer vaginal area. The active ingredient is Triclosan. Have I done something very bad. Should I wake her up now and give her another bath. She likes the yogurt and has been eating about 8-12 ounces per day for about 3-4days now, and a whitish (perhaps yellow) patch is visible on her outer labia. What should I do. I allow her to wipe herself after urinating, and wonder how I should proceed to get rid of this infection. Does she need to see a specialist or is her normal pediatrician OK. Have I disturbed her "normal flora" in a very harmful way ? Should I try the sitz bath and if so, with what proportion of vinegar to water. What type of vinegar. Why doesn't the pediatrician simply tell me to use gynolotromin or monistat 7 are theses contraindicated due to her age ? Please advise ?
