What Causes Fever And Foul Smelling Greenish Stool In A Baby?
hi, i have an 8 months old baby daughter, she was born 2 months premature, so really she is now about 6 months old, she has been running a fever for a couple days now, took her to hospital last night and while waiting, her fever broke, so we went home thinking its gone, tonight she is getting the fever back and has a greenish foul smelling stool with a fever and just out of the blue developed a red rash on her buttox and has some reddish spots on the back of her head. Any clue as to what this is please?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. She seems to be suffering from gastrointestinal infection along with diaper rashes. Ensure ORS for proper dehydration and use following measures for early recovery:
- zinc supplement such as Syp ZnD or Zinconia
- zinc oxide lotion for diaper area rash
Hopefully it will be of help. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
Regards,
Dr. Archana Verma
