What are the sympotoms of a yeast infection in a 3 year old?
Question by S D: What are the sympotoms of a yeast infection in a 3 year old?
We just returned from the doctor, and I took my 3 year old daughter because she has a frequent urge to urinate. I assumed he would say a urinary tract infection, but he said it is the start of a yeast infection. Can that cause frequent urination?

Yes, they can’t distinguish the burny itchy feeling from the uh oh I gotta potty feeling. Too long in a wet bathing suit or a reaction to a bubblebath can cause it in a young girl.

yep. In a child that young it might. The sensation is the same as feeling the need to pee, especially since she’s only just learned the concept.
Usually redness, itchiness, soreness… those sorts of things are symptoms.
Even little boys can get yeast infections, its not always in the vaginal region, and warm moist spot around the genitals can get infected.
Cut her sugar intake down, especially if she’s been taking, or frequently takes antibiotics. Make sure she eats enough yogurt.
yes any type of urine infection means frequent qurine or no urine at all. make her drink water every half an hour and tell her not to hold in .sometimes children hates to go to the loo when they are in school. tell her not to hold it in. also if she is on antibiotics, then give her sugery drinks. antibiotics has an effect on the child, her suger level might go down. please dont cut back on her sugery food. instead treat her to juices, chocolate more often and lots of water, no fizzy drinks.
Yes it can cause frequent urination. The symptoms are the same as an adult with a yeast infection, itching, burning, discharge, bumps. It’s all the same, however, usually in kids they can’t always tell you what’s wrong, so chances are, she’s had it awhile already.
yes it can alot of times children do not wipe good when they go to the rest room and get yeast infections maybe help or explain good job going potty but we got to wipe a little better my child had the same thing and colored under-ware causes it to it will make them constantly ich
