Try to cut a long story short!
DS2 (nearly 5 months) was diagnosed with reflux after he was weaned onto formula at 8 weeks - he had previously not been 'sicky'. He also developed eczema which just spread and spread until last week, with advice from a few docs and HVs we switched from enfamil AR (a thickened milk for reflux management that was working to stop him being too sick) to nutramigen. We also wondered if the sickness might also be due to intolerence. In 4 days his eczema has improved but he has continued the mega sickness but even more so and it's thinner. It just is like a constant flow out of his mouth and his neckline is constantly soggy though I change his bib very often.
Anyway, now he has this rash under his chin and has red spots on his bum and I'm considering a few things (it appeared last night):
- could it be thrush as the spots are in warm soggy places? - I have been putting canestan on but no improvement
- could it be a reaction to a supposedly hypo-allergenic milk?
- could it be completely unrelated and he's ill?
Arrghh, have work tomorrow morning and wondering if anyone else has had similar experience so I can avoid taking time off for a trip to the doctors.
TIA
