Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for posting your query at healthcaremagic. I am sorry to hear that your baby is not doing well. The medications given to her are ok and please do not worry about it. Cough is generally caused due to a viral infection and has an allergic component alongwith. A mucolytic dilutes the cough and helps in normalising the situation. If antibiotics are given they also kill the beneficial bacteria and cause diarrhoea. Zinc preparations like Zirconia may help in case of diarrhoea and at least has no harm if given.

In case of diaper rash, ointments like Siloderm Mixi or Sufrate LA can be used.

Hope that I could resolve your query. Feel free to communicate back in case of further queries if any.
