Can a five year old girl get vaginal thrush?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
YES: Monilia infection just like any fungus likes dark and wet locations. Your child can get the infection if genitals are not cleaned thoroughly with soap and water.

Yes: There are many things that can contribute to developing thrush that is independent of your age. For example: wearing tight clothing that prevents natural ventilation taking antibiotics using certain products like bubble bath.
