Hi,

Hope this is the right place to post this. Just after a bit of advice if i can.

SDS is 6 yo, nearly 7. She has had novovirus for the last week and is only now starting to bounce back. THe novovirus wore her down so much she also managed to get a mouth ulcer. Poor poppet has seriously been in the wars.

She just called me up to the bathroom quite urgently becuase she had noticed some white discharge in her front bottom when she was having a wash.

She has been a bit sore front and back for the last few days which i put down to the acidity of her wee and poo. She has been using hypoallegenic wet wipes and i have been giving her loads of water and she has been applying some amolin (basically bepanthan) to stop the irritation. It seemed to be working.

The amount of discharge she had was very small. in fact i am surprised she noticed it. i told her it was normal and not to worry about it but in truth it surprised me. I dont remember having discharge like that until i was older (i think!). Bit worries she might have a mild case of thrush.

Any experience or advice would be good. She says she is not itchy just a bit sore.
