Vur

Have her checked for a yeast infection. Yeast can come from antibiotics and if she has been on antibiotics for a while she could have one. It can give off a fishy smell and can also be very itchy. Do you notice any type of white discharge in her vaginal area? In the meantime try to get her to eat some yogurt that can help with yeast. If it is yeast she will need to be treated so call the doctor immediately. Yeast will also grow in warm moist areas so change her or if possible keep the diaper off her as much as you can so the area can stay dry. Good luck and keep us posted!

Hi, Yes it is possible that she has a UTI and I would take her back to the doctor so that they can treat it. That is not normal and at this point, due to the smell, yogurt won't help. She will need some antibiotics. My daughter, at three had a UTI with foul odor. I also changed her soap to the dove unscented and don't use wash clothes but my hands to wash them both. May sound weird but things get caught up in washcloths too and people don't have a habit of washing them out really well.

Also, when doing research don't go by Wikipedia. This site can be changed by people and not always accurate. Never trust it. Go to www.webmd.com.
That is a useful site.

Any abnormal smell coming from the diaper really should be checked out. If it's a yeast infection or a UTi...it needs to be addressed. I will, however, agree that for a yeast infection your best course of treatment is yogurt. Yogurt-as much as your child will eat for a few days. Antibiotics may not work, especially since your daughter has already been on atb for a long time.
Don't worry about running to the doctor-that's their job and what they are there for. It's better to be safe than sorry!!!!!!
Good luck!

While yeast infections can cause smelly discharge, they typically do not cause a fever.
How did they test for a UTI? In children with VUR a urine culture should be routinely performed every three months to exclude any breakthrough infections or resistances.
Because your daughter is on long term antibiotic treatments you will also want to have the doctors exclude other infections, like bowel or vaginal (yeast or resistant bacteria).
Go back until you get a satisfying answer.
Good luck!
