"My baby has diarrhea and irritation on his bottom, what should I do?"

For diaper rash, it is recommended to use a cream with at least 40% zinc oxide. As for diarrhea, it is typically best to let the body naturally eliminate toxins or viruses. Providing rehydration solution may not be necessary if the child is still eating, although perhaps less than usual. Probiotics may not have concrete benefits, so it is up to personal preference whether to try them.
