Children frequently suffer from diarrhoea due to a virus called rotavirus. In such a case, there would be no findings in blood tests or ultrasound. When such a thing occurs, the frequent passage of stool, the smearing of the acidic stool over the perianal region and the repeated cleaning over the area creates erosions and leads to development of redness and rashes over the area around anus. You may apply Siloderm Mixi over the area, for a few days so that the area heals fast.
Other than that you may give ORS (oral rehydration solution) prepared by mixing a full sachet in the designated amount of water (200 ml or 1 litre depending upon the size of the sachet) and give it sip by sip to your baby, such that the lost salt and water is replenished. Low lactose formula or lactose free formula like Zerolac is preferrable for upto a week after the child becomes fine.
