All people with weakened immune systems should contact their doctors with any new symptoms or infections. Various conditions can cause nonmenstrual vaginal discharge in women, such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, and bacterial vaginosis. If vaginal discharge lasts for more than 1 week, consult your doctor. If yeast infections recur, see your doctor for a more thorough work-up. Other symptoms such as bloody discharge, abdominal pain, fever, and increased urination also can indicate more serious problems, and you should seek medical help.
Oral thrush needs a prescription medication and a quick visit to the doctor.
If children take no fluids for longer than 12 hours, contact your doctor for possible IV fluid replacement. Any fever or prolonged problems with feeding also warrant a visit to a doctor. If the rash worsens at any time, or if the lesions do not clear in 1-2 weeks, call your doctor. Fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, or the rash spreading to other parts of your body may be a sign of a more serious illness. People with weakened immune systems must take all forms of candidiasis seriously and treat them aggressively.
