Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... I have a 9 month old infant granddaughter. She must be experiencing vaginal itching. She constantly moves in a way like she s trying to scratch. Almost like it s a humping motion. Could she be allergic to the diapers? She doesn t have a rash. She does drink milk too.
Hello, The most common cause of vaginal itching apart from diaper rash in this age group would be a worm infestation. I suggest that you give her oral Albendazole at the dose of 200 mg 1 dose today and another after 10 days. This should settle the issue. If still she is having similar symptoms, I suggest you to consult her pediatrician regarding this. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
