Baby diagnosed with vulvovaginitis and E.coli
Hello everybody,By my 11 - months old daughter has been isolated E.coli in urine. She was treated with antibiotika - cephalosporine for 2 weeks, but the latest urine test shows still E.coli (though smaller amount this time). As a result of this the pediatrician prescribed Nelidix - a himiotherapeutic, that shouldn't be taken under 7 years of age. We went also to gynecologist, who diagnosed her with vulvovaginitis - she has a redness around the vaginal opening, and did not want to sit on the potty for the last few days. So she become from the gynecologist an antibacterial creme and antifungal creme. Can anybody suggest a homeopathic remedy instead of these whole range of antibiotika? The reason why we started these range of examination was her primary lack of appetite and nightly restlessness, which after the treatment with the cephalosporine got better, but she never had fever, or abdominal pain. Please help!
I would be thankful for any suggestion!

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I am not a homeopath but am a mother and a person with Microbiology background. Would suggest you use homeopathy, and in terms of baby-care, please look into how baby is being cleaned by the grown-ups. Firstly, suggesting that only you clean her as first priority. If she has a nanny, then yo would have to train her with the following. Pls. make sure there is no other person cleaning. Baby diaper-care is essential.
1. Since the location of the vag. is v. sensitive/delicate and above the anal area, it is essential to clean the baby with water (first preference) or wipes (if that is the only alternative.
2. Make sure that the cleaning 'direction' is followed: Always cleaning motion (whether water or wipes) should be 'from' urinal area 'to' stool/anal.
Escherichia coli are in stools, so that's whether they come from. Cleaning in the opposite direction causes the problem that your baby has.
3. Re: vag redness, make sure that there is no other contact going on with baby, besides diapers/air/water. If there is diaper rash, it may be due to lactose intolerance which might be causing the issue as well (this may be a digression, check with doctor re: symptoms).
4. Make sure water is used as primary for cleaning. Water has its own therapetic properties and is better that using wipes.
5. Cotton diapers are best if you can use them for afew days.
6. Allowing baby to be open fter cleaning/allowing some air to dry out area is also good when theer is diaper rash.
Good luck!

Another thing that works as a preventive (start this now and after homeopathy as well): Buy a 'hand-held/telephonic shower' the one with a spout that you can hold in your hand. After potty/cleaning briefly with toilet paper without rubbing too hard (clean from urinal area down to stool area, not opposite), use different wipes for stool, different for urinal. After cleaning: take baby to shower. Hold the shower under cleaning positionand run water directly on claening are again water flow from urinal area first then to stool area. Water should not flow backwards. Then air-dry for a short time. Cotton diaps/underwear.
