LO is 18 months old and currently through day 5 of a 10 day Augmentin regimen for a sinus infection. Her nasal/eye issues are improved as is her cough from the drainage. The problem is we have a diaper rash like I have never seen before. Diaper changes are horrendous as she just cries and writhes in pain.
Here's what we are doing so far:
1) Feeding yogurt daily as well as giving probiotics (Florastar - twice per day).
2) Using a warm wet cloth to clean her rather than wipes.
3) Using Nystatin cream 2-3 times per day (the nurse felt like we were in the starting stage of a yeast infection).
4) We have tried various creams - all lead to screaming but an eventual calm (Dr. Smiths, Triple Paste, Anti Monkey-Butt, Corona).
5) We even tried a paste of a liquid antacid tonight mixed with cornstarch (this was recommended by the nurse to counter the acidity of her urine and bowel movements).
6) We also tried some diaper free time today.
I'm willing to try pretty much anything over the next couple of days while we are at home. My options are more limited come Monday when we go back to daycare (can't do diaper free time there).
What other recommendations do you have that have worked for your LO? Help me get through these next five days without having to cry with my LO at each diaper change.
