Would this go under genitourinary or skin exam:
The diaper area has an erythematous rash. There are no open areas at this time. There are no abnormalities of the scrotum.
Also, Prilosec for rhinitis?
Thanks.
Yes. Many medications have multiple uses that do not seem to be related.
Reflux Medications
"For rhinitis that is thought to be related to acid reflux disease, antacids (Maalox, Mylanta) can help to neutralize acid contents, whereas other medications [cimetidine (Tagamet), famotidine (Pepcid), omeprazole (Prilosec)] can decrease stomach acid production. Non-pharmacological treatments include avoiding late evening meals and snacks and the elimination of alcohol and caffeine. Elevating the head of the bed may help to decrease reflux during sleep."
