Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Most of the acute gastro-enteritis is babies are due to viral infection. Rotavirus is the commonest cause. The redness associated with it is due to diaper rash.
Keeping the area dry, giving bath twice a day will remove the stool residue. Local application of Himalaya diaper rash cream will be helpful.
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you happy and healthy life
Take Care
