Guest guest Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 My daughter will be 3 years old in May, she is under close scrutiny because of her birth history (severe meconium aspiration requiring a heart/lung bypass machine for the first week of her life) but continues to stump the doctors. She has been plagued by yeast rashes/infections in the diaper area since before she came home from the hospital (not surprising since her first course of antibiotics was begun at a few days old), and has eczema/sensitive skin/rashes, sensory issues, language issues, and obsessive tendancies. She does not fit into any classification, but we do believe she suffers from post traumatic stress from her life-saving medical procedures. Today we were at the doctors yet again with unexplained rashes- she has an itchy, bumpy rash on her bottom and around her mouth for several weeks. (this is not diaper rash as she has not been in diapers for over a year) The doctor does not know what to do for her, but he did at least agree to start her on a course of oral diflucan for the chronic yeast problem. Of greater concern to me is the fact that she is constantly hungry, and even though we limit her diet she continues to gain weight. The doctor has agrees to do some bloodwork for kidney and liver function but I want to see if I can add some tests in. What tests would benefit her and what diagnosis should they be done under?
