Hi there, i have a 16mth old boy who started with cramping & diarrhea on sunday. he is eating & drinking well with the exception of monday evening. i give him a good probiotic daily but his tummy is still going and now there is a major nappy rash?

The pH of the stool may result in a chemical dermatitis on the skin. Keep the area clean and dry, and then apply a barrier diaper cream with each change will help the healing process. For diarrheal illnesses, it is important that there is adequate hydration, generally avoid milk/dairy products until normal. Bananas, Rice, Applesauce and baby biscuits/please see your pediatrician.
