Abstract

Mrs Wong brought her seven-month-old son, Malcolm, to your family clinic for symptoms of diarrhoea over the past week. There was no associated fever, vomiting or bloody stools. Malcolm's activity levels and behaviour were not affected. Examination revealed a cheerful, well-thrived boy with normal abdominal examination findings. There was mild perianal erythema without any fissures or tags. Mrs Wong was very anxious and wanted further investigations and medications for her son's illness. She was also unsure about how to hydrate and feed Malcolm during this period.
