What Causes Diarrhea With Stomach Pains And Mouth Rash?

Dear Doctor, my son is nearly 3 years of age and has had diarrhea since he was newborn accompanied with stomach pains, rash around the mouth, behavioural problems when the rash is present, screams during the night at least 4 times. When he was new born we tried several milks as he used to be screaming in pain with colic pains and the milks would go through him. We have been the GP over an over again and keep getting told to eliminate dairy then re-introduce it. Most of his diet consists of dairy (he s not a big eater). Please give me some advice as to what this could be. I suspect it is a milk protien intolerance after doing some research online. Thank you :)

Pediatrician,  's  Response
As you said your child develops repeated episodes of diarrhea, abdominal pain, rash etc since birth, probably he suffering from milk protein allergy. However there are other possibilities and diagnosis needs to be confirmed by various investigations.
You need to consult pediatrician and ask for detailed investigations like stool examination, CBC, LFT, LFT, Workup for metabolic diseases, USG abdomen etc.

For further queries regarding this disease or its medications you may take my appointment at Healthcare Magic.
