One Year Old With Diarrhea, Nappy Rash. Blisters On The Tongue, Swollen Glands. Treatment?
My nearly one year old baby started five days ago with diarrhoea which has now resolved but caused a terrible nappy rash. He also had a streaming nose. Now he is dribbling so much with blisters all over his tongue. He hasn't eaten for 4 days and other than 5 days ago his temp has been stable. He has been very sick in the past with high temp but seens to be a lot more distressed now and in a lot if pain. His glands are swollen.

Hi
thanks for your query at HCM
put salinase nasal drops in nostrils
generally antibiotics are not recommended for loose motions
you should give him extra fluid and ORS ,
monitor his hydration status
if there is any blood or fever or child starts vomit every thing then immediately visit you doctor
change his diaper after every loose stool
how much urine he is passing
strict compliance with gluten free diet is necessary
add iron supplementation along with multiviamins
continuous follow up to your gastroentrologist is necessary for 2nd line of investigations
i will be available for your help
wishing you a speedy recovery
take care
regards
