Should I Give Neocate If My Child Has A Rash?
My son who is 13 weeks old broke out in a rash all over his face and had silent reflux. The rash seemed to Flare up after giving him hi milk. He was out on neocate which I really struggled to get him to take and had to mix with cow an gate formula. He then ended up in hospital with dehydration as he refused to eat, he was having difficulty swallowing. I was told this was due to acid reflux and put on ranitadine and gaviscon for him. I also changed to aptamil pepti 1. He seems to be taking bottles now but his face has started to break out again. My question is do you think he needs to be bck on neocate with the medication? His weight hasn t being going up and my gp is no support. I am still awaiting peadiatric outpatients app but in the meantime I don t know what to give him? Aptamil pepti or neocate again? Thank you Yvonne

Of cause no, but we should treat this rash. At the first you should do bacteriological analysis of faeces for disbacteriosis and coprogramme. You can give baby antiallergical drops, That formulas are bitter, thats why he dislikes. The most common cause of rash is insufficiency of bifidobacterias in intestine and abnormal bacterias in intestine
