What Is The Best Diaper Rash Cream To Use?
My son is 6 month old and has been taking Amoxicllin for 5 days now. He developed a diaper rash a few days ago and now I realized it s from the antibotic. I don t think it s an allergic reaction because it s only on his bum. What is the best diaper rash cream to use?

Thanks for consulting at Healthcare Magic.
Antibiotics like amoxicillin can cause diarrhea. Diarrhea causes wetness in perineum resulting in diaper rash.
Keep your baby clean and dry by changing his diaper frequently. That may mean getting him up at night for a diaper change
Rinse his diaper area well at each diaper change.
You may use Cetaphil Baby Diaper Relief Cream or Nappycare Cream etc.
If no relief consult pediatrician.
