Why Is My Son Having Diarrhea And Abdominal Pain After Drinking Cup Of Dairy Milk?
My son has had diarrhea ever since he was given a sippy cup of dairy milk, and a grilled cheese sandwich...he is on isomil soy formula and this was his first real introduction to milk...it is now day 5 and he has curdled whitish grey poo and is still in abdominal pain...he has thrown up twice in 5 days but mostly diarrhea...he has been flushed in the face, and a runny nose. Today he even broke out in a rash around his pamper which left the trace mark of the diaper...the rash was red with no bumps or any markings I am thinking Lactose intolerant...his breathing has not been affected

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
It will be helpful if you mention the age of your son.
After reading your post, it seems that your son is having lactose intolerance.
But since the abdominal symptoms are associated with vomiting, chances of infection should not be ruled out.
I would suggest that you should get his stool examined for any infection.
In the meantime, you should give him pre/probiotic after getting him clinically examined. Also antiemetic will help in controlling episodes of vomiting.
If reports suggest infection, then an antibiotic/antiamoebic can be added.
You should maintain his hydration.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
