Jaden has been having loose bowels for the past few days. If counted the soft mushy plus one big stool, but mustardy-yellow with black pepper seeds lookalike, it would have been his 5th day today.
Brought him to see the paed early this morning and we all just could not get downright to the source other than suspecting its the bug virus in the tummy that is causing him to have diarrhoea.
He has not been eating anything that he is not supposed to eat, or something new. Just his usual milk, rice cereals, rice & porridge how I usually cook for him so he might have caught it from somewhere. *sigh*
The paed then prescribed us one diarrhoea med to take, a cream to apply to the rash that is growing so red and fierce that it hurts him the instant he poos it out and some prebiotics (good germs) to be added inside his milk intake to fight the bad germs inside.
The advice the paed gave was to give him lots of fluids to keep him hydrated because having diarrhoea can be really dehydrating. Jaden is still as active, eating as usual, no unusual warm body temperature **touches wood** so I guess it does all come down to the bug in the tummy.
Poor little boy. It hurts Hubby and I to see him suffer like that. Hoping it will all go away soon, with the help of the medication. The first two days, I have to change at least 6-7 diapers a day, then the third day, about 4 diapers and today.. well, the count is at 2.. but I am guessing with tonight's meal and all, should be 3 (which I am hoping it would be the hard stools rather than the watery farted out poo. Its just that one fart will be like opening a water pipe at his butt and woooooosh everything comes out all wet mustardy.
Have been taking him to wash his butt each time he poos to avoid the rash from spreading. Now I am keeping it under control with just warm water, soap and pat-dried ass and crotch area before applying Drapolene/doc's cream.
Please get well soon, baby boy...
p/s: *updated like 10 minutes after this post.. the boy had a go again at it.. and the rash looks pretty bad.. oh why?*
