What Causes Green Stools And Sandpaper Body Rash In Toddlers?
My 3 year old son has had a pale pink sandpaper body rash for almost two weeks. He started with a very bad cough and sore throat. That is now gone. He tested negative for strep, flu, and RSV. For the last 5 days he has had green stools and has them 4 or 5 times a day. The opening of his penis is also red, This is something I have never noticed before. Is there any need to worry. His diet has not changed recently and he does not eat green leafy vegetables. Thank you for your help.

He developed respiratory infection and gastroenteritis as a complication of measles.
Measles reduces the immunity and leads to several infections.
