I'm dealing with a lot of vaginal itching and burning right now, and I'm using itch guard which only seems to help for a short while. Could you please tell me what might be causing this and if there's something more effective I could try?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day for 1-2 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antihistamines like Cetirizine (Zyrtec) once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to maintain good hygiene and avoid using scented products in the genital area. If the symptoms persist, please consult a gynecologist for further evaluation and management.

The symptoms your mother is experiencing are concerning and require medical attention. _Possible Causes_ 1. *Phlebitis*: Inflammation of the vein caused by the cannula, which can lead to pain, swelling, and discoloration. 2. *Thrombophlebitis*: A blood clot in the vein, which can cause pain, swelling, and warmth in the affected area. 3. *Infection*: Bacterial infection at the site of the cannula, which can cause pain, swelling, redness, and pus. _Immediate Action Required_ 1. *Consult her doctor*: Reach out to her doctor or the hospital where the cannula was inserted to report the symptoms. 2. *Seek emergency care*: If her doctor is unavailable, consider taking her to the emergency room or urgent care for evaluation and treatment. _Preliminary Care_ 1. *Apply warmth*: Apply a warm compress to the affected area to help reduce pain and swelling. 2. *Elevate the hand*: Elevate her hand above the level of her heart to reduce swelling. 3. *Monitor for worsening symptoms*: Keep a close eye on her symptoms and seek immediate medical attention if they worsen.
