5 year old awake screaming about sore labia / vagina

So this is a post of desperation. My Dd 5yo is awake screaming that her labia, vagina and whole general area are hurting. This is the 4th night in a row. She's actually had a really horrible virus so the last few nights she's been that unwell that she's fallen back asleep. However now she's feeling a bit better she is properly screaming the house down. There's nothing to see. I have checked and rechecked for worms. I'm alternating Calpol and ibuprofen anyway for her visits symptoms on doctors advice so can't go there. I've tried sudocrem, makes no difference. I googled and think it could be vaginosis maybe. Also found numerous other threads on other sites describing similar symptoms but no solutions given. I spoke to the pharmacist today and she said take her to the doctor next week, may need a swab. But what could this be and what can I do in the meantime?! She's so upset!

Thanks @justilou1. Got most bases covered. I took a decision and double treated the worms after doing some research into safety. She's on amoxicillin at the mo as Doc1 thought she might be spoiling for an inner ear infection. I still suspect a uti, which would require a more targeted antibiotic. I dropped another urine sample to the doctor to check again this morning. She's only drinking plain water, which she's having more of now thankfully. She isnt really eating but we are low sugar anyway. She's picked at some homemade popcorn and grapes this morning. I'm letting her have what she fancies and can keep down. I will defo look into a decent probiotic.

This thread has horrified me! I have a small daughter! I might buy some worming medicine just to keep at home for when the time inevitably comes! Poor you and DD!
