My 3 year old grand daughter is complaining that her bottom & vaginal area hurt. She has had a mild fever also. The dr. thought it was a bladder infection but came back negative. Now they have done blood work. What would they be looking for in the blood work and what could be the causes of this pain?
Hello, Most likely urinary tract infection. Rule out any blunt injury post-fall. Blood workup should show traces of infection (increase in counts). Painkillers should relieve pain in case of absence of infection. Deforming the child with antiparasitic will help. Take care that child is not suffering from constipation. Encourage the child to Chat Doctor.  Lastly, any object insertion to the local area and child abuse should be ruled out. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
