My friend's 3 yr old daughter has a yellow discharge coming from her vagina. is it serious enough for uc? or wait til peds is open?

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Probably can wait: As long as child does not have other serious associated symptoms such as bleeding, pain, pain with urination, fever, etc. Sometimes discharge in children this age can be due to a foreign object such as toilet paper, etc. As long as no other issues, it can likely wait.
