Diarrhoea is not associated with any type of head injury. Its completely different finding in your child. Syrup Tylenol is itself known to cause Gastrointestinal disturbances. Right now, make sure the child is well hydrated. Give him frequent feeds and ORS solution for every loose stool he does. Also give him Syrup Zinc 5 ml once daily for next 14 days. keep the diaper area clean and wash frequently with lukeworm water. Dont try to wipe it off after loose stool as rashes will develop in that area.
Thanks and regards
