Yes usually for diarrhea pd will prescribe probiotics. My LO was previously given biogaia 5 drops 2x a day when he had diarehea. Are you breastfeeding or formula feeding? If you're formula feeding, you can try to switch to soy milk temporarily. As for food, you can follow the BRAT diet - banana, rice, applesauce, and toast -BRAT is suppose to help with recovery of stomach upset or diarrhea as these are "binding food". Finally please ensure you LO is drinking sufficient liquid and watch out for signs of dehydration. If at any time you think your child is dehydrated, pls bring to the hospital to be put on the drip. For red butt and rash, try to wash and air-dry your LO butt instead of using wipes. After it dries, use diaper rash cream - desitin purple is quite a popular choice for very bad rash Wishing your LO speedy recovery.
