A few weeks ago DS had an ear infection and was prescribed amoxicillan.  Afew days after taking it (and just as I started CDing....lucky me) he started getting diarreah.  I assumed this to be a side effect of the meds and the dr confirmed this.  Well, he finished his meds last Monday and he is STILL having bad diarreah.  Out of the 7 or so diaper changes he gets, I would say about 5 of them are poopy diarreah.  It seems like watever he is eating is going RIGHT through him.  Example...he had blueberries for breakfast this morning and his diaper after his morning nap was definitly blueberry poop.  His poor tush is really taking a beating....the rash does not have time to heal before he has another bout of diarreah.  This can't possibly still be the amoxicillan nearly a week later.  I think it is time to bring him back to the pedi.

Sounds like he needs some yogurt or the BRAT diet, well at his age, maybe pureed bananas and applesauce diet.  They may not need to see him, discuss with a nurse over the phone, see what they say.  Of course assuming you don't think he's at all dehydrated.

Hope he feels better soon!!!

Diarrhea sucks. DS had a stomach bug last November with diarrhea too and the rash was awful.  Our pedi recommended putting some Maalox in the diaper (we were using sposies since we had to use hard core cream).  Part of the reason they get such bad diaper rashes is because it's very acidic.  The Maalox should neutralize some of the acid. HTH!!  Poor baby!
