Suggest Remedy For Itchy Skin Rashes In Children With Loose Stools
My daughter has a persistent skin rash that itches and hurts. She was diagnosed with eczema and is on a gluten free diet. She also has loose stools, sometimes with pus. She gets stomach aches headaches, and sometimes vomits before she eats. She is tired of being told she just has eczema when it is clear there is something else going on. IBS?

Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per query you child have symptoms of itchy skin rashes with loose stools which seem to be due to acute gastroenteritis leading to electrolyte imbalance in the body and rashes are due to changes in environment, hormones and systemic conditions.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate yourself. Take banana on a daily basis and light food. Avoid taking any sharp and spicy food. Apply calamine lotion to soothe rashes. However, if symptoms keep on persisting you should visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined. You should go for blood tests as well and start treatment after proper examination. You should start treatment with a combination of fluoroquinolones and ornidazole.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
