Does Wincing By A Toddler During Diaper Change Indicate An Illness?
MY GRANDSON (AGE 2+) STAYS WITH US A COUPLE OF DAYS A WEEK WHILE HIS PARENTS WORK. FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS HE WINCES WHEN I WASH HIM OFF DURING A DIAPER CHANGE. HE DOESN T ACT LIKE ANYTHING HURTS EXCEPT DURING DIAPER CHANGES -- PLAYS, CLIMBS ON THINGS, RIDES HIS JEER, ETC. THERE IS NO REDNESS OR BRUISING VISIBLE.

Hello and Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor" service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Do you use pins to fasten his diaper? Is it possible he was stuck by a pin?
Is he taking any medicine?
If he has no fever and walks and runs normally, I feel that you can safely continue to watch him.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
