He also has very dry lips and a cough as well as complaining of a headache but may not be related. Several weeks ago he had a rash on the trunk of his body

Thank you for your contact to HCM.Your baby has allergic dermatitis. I suggest-
1.Hypoallergenic diet
2.Cetrizine syrup
3.Charcoal 1 tablet/10 kg for absorbtion of allergens
4.If it is possible wash baby in slightly hot boiled water,use soap for body 1-2 times a week. Use cleansing creams, gentle skin cleansers or bath or shower gels with moisturizers or natural oats soap.
5.If his skin is extremely dry, apply baby oil or almond or vitamin E oil while it’s moist.
