I have 2 granddaughters who have both had these infections in the last month. Could they be exposed to something at home to cause this?

They could be. \nOr it is more likely that they are dehydrated...\nI am not a medical professional but I do work with children and the most commen cause I have heard of them in children is that they hold their urine too long. They need to be encouraged to go when they need to go.

It could be anything from a buildup of something in her system and a reaction to that to an allergy on the outside of her skin from something outside.  It's best when dealing with children and painful eruptions to just take them to the emergency room and get a professionals advice.

could be an infection. You should see a doc.

i live in hawaii as well as i'm from florida where both places have so much staph. you only get staph from open sores that become infected, puss like stuff will be coming out and no it doesn't itch. hurts like hell all the way to the bone. i spent a week last year in the hospital due to staph which is not something to mess with. your child sounds as if they have a rash of some sort. go see a different doctor.

Tell you mom to go to her obgyn and get checked for Bacterial Vaginosis. It is an incredibly common bacterial virus that woman get -- at one time it was believe to be sexually transmitted but that was changed when they realized that a large majority of senior citizen woman were being diagnosed with it. LOL most dont even know they have it until it gets bad. It can be caused by lots of things - none that your mom could have helped most likely -- however, it DOES need an antibiotic to be treated. Discharge can have a fishy odor, and be grayish, to greenish, to dark white in color. Everyone is different though,  of course, and thebest thing she can do is call her doctor versus trying to self treat herself - espcially if it is causing her discomfort, or annoyance, or problems.

When was the last time you had a well women check up, you should probably schedule an appointment so that they can run a few swabs and panels and cross test it with certain bacterial or viral culprits and go from there.  And also you may want to protect those open "razor bumps" with an artificial barrier such as a spray on band aide you can purchase at a pharmacy to keep out Staph which  is a common critter in all environments and much more resistant and harder to kill in a nosocomial environment.  Clean the area thoroughly and try using an antiseptic such as peroxide or tea Teatree oil and maybe even some Bactine over the counter.  If all fails, and this does not resolve, see your doctor or nurse practitioner.

It's just your immune system. Your sister is with the little one all the time so has built up an immunity (and pregnancy builds up immunity and that seems to stay). I would recomend you eat loads more fruit and bag and get loads of vitamins down you, this will help. Also, 9 year olds are always getting colds and stuff because of the mingling at school. \nI always seem to be getting everything that goes round at work but my desk is right next to the air conditioner and we have no opening windows int he building so i get the full whack of the recycled germs.

You should go to the doctor. You might have an infection.

Take her to a doctor.  It's possible that she has an infection of some sort.  It's also possible that she's acting out because of some sort of trauma (stress, abuse, being abandoned by her parents).  This isn't normal behavior for a healthy 9-yr-old.\n\nGood luck!

it is caused by vitamin and calcium defieciency. What you could do to prevent it is give them some bits of clam shells or egg shells.

Everyone here is right, there's more than one kind of infection you can get.\n\nHantavirus, leptospirosis, rickettsia, yersinia pestis and so on, they're all bugs you may find in mice droppings. Frightening isn't it? Don't blame me blame Mickey!

Could be a number of things. Many viruses can cause this type of reaction but most likely its an allergic reaction to something in her environment.  Have your recently purchased a new type of laundry detergent, body wash, or any other product that might come in contact with the skin? if so you could try switching and see if this helps.  Has your wife bought any clothing lately and worn them without washing them first? Many people are sensitive to the dies and other chemicals that might be on new unlaundered garments especially blue jeans.  Look at what you have consumed within the last week and see if their is anything out of the routine that she has eaten.  all in all I would suggest having your family doctor check it out especially if she is pregnant or expecting.

You could still catch it possibly. Most def if she has an outbreak. I think it depends on where the outbreaks occur. But to be extra safe, talk with a REAL nurse or doctor.\n\nThere should be a hotline that you could call as well. Search for it on the net.
