My 2 year old son is waking at night saying his bottom hurts. There is no obvious rash. He is not constipated and has lots of wet nappies. I was wondering if he could be confusing hurting with itching.Could he have worms? Can i treat him for it if i am not sure?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, The symptoms and history of your son suggests me that he may be having fungal infection or the worm infestations.  As there is plenty of wet diapers it may favor the growth of the fungus and produce all these symptoms. I would suggest you to keep that area Chat Doctor.  You can apply newsprint powder over that area after each wet diapers. As he is two years old you can give spy albendazole to your son in the night so that it will combat the worm infestations also. Thank you.
