Hello dear user:
Welcome to HCM!

The rash and diarrhea your son is experiencing could be the reaction to the vaccine (for example MMR vaccine), but also your son may be affected by a viral condition like flu or gastric flu that may not be related to the vaccine.

Anyway if it is a reaction to the vaccine there is no need for treatment. The rash will go away within a few days, it's not contagious or harmful. Just give your son a lot of juices, or mineral salts supplements to replace the water and minerals lost with the diarrhea.

All the best and i hope your son will be fine as soon as possible
Kind regards!
