Suggest Treatment For Anal Pain While Suffering From Diarrhea

my 2 year old grandson had sickness and diarrhoea recently and whilst this has now gone he is still behaving oddly. He won t let anyone near him except his mother and he gets very upset when she wipes his bottom. There is no rash but he appears to be in pain.

You can apply some vaseline ointment or other soothing ointment when mom wipes his bottom. Even if you don't see a rash, there can be irritation internally so applying a soothing ointment with a rectal thermomemter as if you were taking a temperature may be a way to a apply the ointment. But do the best you can to apply something soothing to the area and use soft wipes and be very gentle.
If symptoms are not better in 24 to 48 hours, you would need to have him evaluated the pediatrician.
Wish him a speedy recovery!
