my 7 mth old daughter has had diahrea for 2 weks solid now upto 8-10 dirty nappies a day, stopped solids as thought it was linked but that was a week ago and still no change, been doctors but not been very helpful they sent of stool sample and still awaiting results and given cream for her burning bum but havent said wat it could be?
Two weeks of loose motion means baby has got some infection, or it might be due to lactose intolerance. The stool sample only can detect for infection if there are any bacteria. Based on that they will provide you with antibiotics and probiotics feed your child with plenty of water and reduce the amount of milk. And feed her solids avoid sugar because it may induce loose stool. The rash developed in her bum is due to loose stools. If they suspect lactose intolerance to physician will provide you with milk substitute which doesn't contain lactose.
