yes. you can use probiotics but that will not solve the sore bottom. not all diaper rashes are the same. some are caused simply by the acidic irritation of having diarrhea but some can be yeast or even bacterial. each would be treated differently of course. since i can't diagnose your baby over the internet i can make a little suggestion that i use for my own patients. use a combination of an anti-yeast cream (over the counter. the pharmacist can help you pick one) and 1% hydrocortisone cream (for the inflammation). rub a small amount well in those sore areas and then cover this with a barrier cream or ointment (a&d desitin zinc oxide vaseline etc. ). change the diaper frequently and make sure you wipe of all traces of stool even if you have to give them a bath. if the area is bleeding or getting worse you will need to have it examined by the pediatrician.
my 1 year old has diarrhea x2 days and just got done yesterday off amoxicillin her butt is raw can i give probiotic? . if so which probiotic is the best to give for a 1 year old? and at what point do i take her to the er. her pain is very bad with such a bad diaper rash that she screams when she gets her diaper changed up to 3 times an hour due to uncontrollable diarrhea. she also is arching her back and hard to breath due to crying so bad. poor baby.
