Suggest Medication For Loose Stool And Diaper Rash

Hi! My 15 month old son has had two lose stools today with what looks like sesame seeds in them. He has a little diaper rash as well. He is otherwise perfectly happy. He does seem to be sensitive to dairy, but I ve never noticed these seeds before.

Hi...these are not seeds and it is how a watery diarrhoea looks like when admixed during purging. If he is sensitive to dairy, please avoid even biscuits and commercial foods which have cows milk in them.

Coming to management - Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.

I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D drops 1ml once daily for 14 days) & ORS (Each small packet mixed in 200ml of potable water and keep giving sip by sip) as hydration is very important and crucial part of treatment. If there is vomiting you can use Syrup Ondansetron (as prescribed by your paediatrician).
