But most kids wont drink it as it tastes foul, so any fluid will do, water.

[jeee]

As a doctor-avoider, I think you need to at least talk to a doctor now.

You can mix diorylite with blackcurrent squash to taste a bit better. I always used weak squash made with boiled water (and allowed to cool). It's quite comforting when still slightly warm.

Good idea to have some metanium to hand too. Dreadful diarrhoea can always trigger really sore nappy rash.

thanks to all - got given diorylite and he had some

no d today but nappy rash like never seen - up to wist with blisters

I'd pop him to the GP if he's like this, just so they can check him over.

sorry meant gp gave me diorylite yest!

a layer of metanium with sudocrem on the top worked best for nappy rash with dd and ds.
