No since the suppository is absorbed through the rectal mucosa.
A suppository is a pill or medication that is inserted through the rectal area of the body. A suppository can be introduced into any absorbent orifice of the body,such as the vagina.
Inserting pills into the anus is called rectal administration or rectal drug delivery. It involves placing medication in the rectum for absorption into the bloodstream. It is also known as rectal suppository insertion.
Diarrhea is not a contra indication for rectal paracetamol. But if the child passes stool as soon as you keep the suppository it may be expelled.

You can give medications thru a colostomy, but if they still have a patent anus and rectal mucosa it is more appropriate to give a medication like tylenol via that route as the medication is absorbed by the rectal mucosa to take effect systemically. Medications for bowel regimen like an enema should be given thru the colostomy, as this the direct route of the stool in a patient with a stool diverting colostomy
