Suggest Treatment For Cold, Cough, Diarrhea And Diaper Rashes In An Infant

Steam inhalation would be greatly beneficial.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through the details and understand your concern. Most often such symptoms are due to viral infections and antibiotics are ineffective in such cases. Irrespective of use of antibiotics, it usually spontaneously resolves in 5-7 days. If your child is otherwise active and playful, I would not be concerned.
Alongside, giving your child steam inhalation. Just place the child on your lap and place the source of steam before you. The water vapor will be in the air and automatically the child will breathe it in. Giving steam inhalation to your child helps in reducing the congestion. Water vapor will reach deep inside and would help in diluting the cough and thus would provide relief. This is practically same as what Mucolite Drops. Use Rhine saline nasal drops in case of nose block. If he has cough or nasal discharge give him some antiallergic like cetirizine once daily for next few days.
For the perianal excoriations, try to keep the area clean and dry. Applying ointments like Siloderm Mixi should help. You can use Candid lotion rather than Candid-B as the latter reduces it faster but also makes you prone to catching it faster.
Hopefully that would help. Feel free to write back in case of further queries.
