Burning with urination

**Burning with urination**

My daughter is 3 years old and I think she has yeast infection. Her symptoms are : vaginal area bright red, itchy, and a slight discharge more throug the night , which she has never had a discarge before at all, she says it burns when she urinates, My question is , her Dr. office can't get het in for 2 weeks . will this cause more serious problems for her and if so should I take her to the E.R. I can't get her in any where else because of Medi-cal? thank-you, very concerned mother
Yes, take her in today to the E.R. This is not something that should be taken lightly. Burning with urination can be a sign of a kidney or bladder infection. If this is an ongoing infection, it can get worse and worse. This is definitely not something you should wait 2 weeks for. Go in right now. Also, you may want to find a new doc who will be able to see your sick child right away. Good luck. Dr. Mike This article was reviewed 04/23/2010 07:24 AM
