Hi ladies,
I have a question. my son has had diarrhea for a total of 6 days already. with no other symptoms. he's eating normal. he's playing like always and I even had him try solids for the first time yesterday and he ate just fine. the dr. said as long as there is no fever , bleeding, or vomiting and keeping his appetite I shouldn't be worried. he said to just keep an eye on him. has anyone else been through this? and do you know how to get rid of it. Also he has a horrible diaper rash. how do i treat it? I've tried everything. I would appreciate any advice. he's 4/12 months. Ftm here.

My son had the same thing a couple of weeks ago. Our doctor told us to give him only pedialyte,bananas or apple sauce for 12-24 hours. Then we slowly started his formula again after that. His diarrhea ended up lasting 4 days. He did however have the worse diaper rash ever it was almost like a second degree burns. The doctor gave us a prescription for some type of compound butt paste they make in the pharmacy and prescribed another cream to put on the rash for yeast so he wouldn't get a yeast infection. Those creams worked a miracle.

For the rash you can try cornstarch it works wonders with bad rashes.

you can make a mix of fractionated coconut oil, lavender and tea tree oil and spray it on the rash.

@leels, I tried that and nothing. I'm at much wits end.
