My 21 month old daughter has had diarrhea for 3 days. Very loose and acidic. Taking Pedialite. drinking and eating well today. My concern is now her labia majora are red and swollen, bilaterally. Could this be related to the diaper rash, or something else?

dear parent, this is most probably due to a fungal infection. you need to keep this area as clean and dry as possible. you should apply a zinc oxide cream together with an antifungal ointment 3 times daily for a whole week
