How do you treat a yeast infection in a 9-year-old girl?

Answer by  Cecilia (2828)

The most efficient way is to have the child checked by a pediatrian to make sure that it is a yeast infection. There are single dose medicines available. There is also help to find out what created the environment for the yeast to flourish and information on how to change this system. Don't wait, just call for an appointment.

A yeast infection can be treated with an anti-fungal topical cream, the same types of topical creams you would use on an adult. Don't use the suppositories though.

A change of diet helps with foods such as yogurt. Also you want to have her use some anti-fungal cream to stave the effects of the infection.

You need to take her to the doctor. Yeast infections in a child so young can often be a sign of a larger problem and should be taken care of by a doctor. He will prescribe your daughter with the proper medication.

The best thing to do is to get pro and pre biotics. You can also offer her yogurt as well, that has been know to kill back bacteria. You might also want to take her to a doctor and see what he/she says.
