Diarrhea and diaper rush in 3 month old baby during abx

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
My 3 month old DD was put on Amoxicillin 1tsp twice a day (400 strength) due to her UTI. She was given ceftrioxone in the hospital. I am giving her 1/2 tsp twice daily (she would not take more) and praying it would help in clearing the infection. But she has diarrheA and now diaper rush. I change her million times day and wash her bottom instead of using wipes. I give her probiotics, put it on my finger and swipe inside of her mouth. What do I do now? I am afraid of stopping abx (we just started them on Tuesday) for fear of infection coming back. Please help if you BTDT.
Thanks!

Stopping abx prematurely leads to resistant bacteria.

Diarrhea is a typical side effect of antibiotics. The rash could be from the diarrhea or it could be yeast forming as a result of the abx. I would continue probiotics for at least a couple weeks after stopping the abx if it were my child.

You might try a vinegar solution to spray on her rash to see if it gets better. Vinegar can halt a yeast diaper rash.and
