can i use baby wipes that are fragrance free but have glycerin, citric acid, aloe vera and vitamin e to wipe after sex and to prevent yeast infections?

Question

Can I use vitamin E oil directly on to help with a dry vulva/vagina? Or will it cause a yeast/bacterial infection? If not what can I use instead?

Answer 1

Baby wipes: Yes, you can use baby wipes effectively

Answer 2

Multi-layer dressing: Use sterile dressing and antibiotic ointment over the exposed skin to prevent infection and promote healing. Use a second layer of dressing or gauze. In between the first and second layer apply a lubricant such as vaseline or petroleum jelly. Secure those layers with a roll gauze and tape. All of this goes under your sock and should prevent pain when walking.

Answer 3

Cover the part that : Peeled with a bandage. Elbow band-aids are great for covering large areas.

Answer 4

No meds: Medications have not been proven successful at this age and pediatricians do not recommend any over the counter cough and cold medicines for kids under 6 years. For babies of this age a nasal aspirator can help remove the thick mucus in their noses- the blue bulb syringe can do the same. Humidification may also help. Most importantly keep them hydrated- increase the frequency of breastfeeding.

Answer 5

Stuffy nose: Stuffy nose in 6 weeks old babies should never be treated with medications. Use saline nasal drops and suction the nose with bulb syring helps. Running a humifier helps too.

Answer 6

Irritants: The first months are troubled by narrow nasal passages & exposure to dust, fragrences, smoke & other irritants.Baby tries to flush these out of the nose with mucous but this often ends as congestion & produces rattling with breathing. The best rx is washing out the nose with saline & suctioning the remainder. Eliminate irritants from babies environment & this will happen less.

Answer 7

Try again: Once doesn't always do it for sinusitis. May have a resistant organism and thus need a different antibiotic. May have problems with structure of nose and face and may need other treatment such as surgery. You may not even have a sinus infection? Get re-examined by pcp or by ent.

Answer 8

Sinus Infection: The pain / pressure of sinus infections is not due to the bacteria, but due to the blocked nose and sinus passages. When the mucus gets plugged up, bacterial growth continues. The bacterial infection is just part of the problem. Try adding an oral decongestant or a topical decongestant spray. If this does not do it, see your doctor again.

Answer 9

Tonsils inflamed: The throat infection may have been incompletely treated, leaving a low population of bacteria within the spaces or crypts of the tonsils, and after the antibiotics are no longer a threat, repopulation can occur. This is how chronic tonsillitis develops. Chronic inflammation of tonsils is common in those who have deep pockets or cryptic spaces in the tonsils.

Answer 10

SEE YOUR DOCTOR: If your throat is still having pain, then you need to see your doctor.

Answer 11

Endometriosis : Though you may have more than one condition causing these symptoms, endometriosis is common to all these. A gynecologic emanation and a laparoscopic diagnosis may settle the mystery. The illustration shows common locations for this disease.
