Why is a 4-month-old child's buttocks red and painful when touched?

Patient's question:

Condition of treatment and effects: I often bathe his buttocks, apply sesame oil, and he eats Mimi Ai. He is only 5 months old, but he hasn't taken medicine for 4 hours because he had a fever and received two injections, which have now improved. What kind of assistance do you need: I want to use physical therapy...

Doctor's answer:

Most children suffer from physiological diarrhea, and they can recover as long as they are provided with properly prepared food in time. It is also important to digest calcium promptly, which will significantly strengthen the baby's immunity. Regarding the issue of diaper rash, using cooking oil is not very effective because the child's skin is delicate. Applying too much can hinder the skin's breathing and cause harm. It is recommended to use less disposable diapers and opt for cotton ones instead. The key is to change them promptly. If the rash is severe, a small amount of eczema cream can be applied, preferably from Hong Kong Omei Pharmaceutical's Aunew brand.
