Brief Answer:
may be stomach bug
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the query.
I think your baby is suffering from some infection in the stomach. Most of them are viral but as you have already started with antibiotics, complete the course.
Zinc may also be given for faster recovery.
Redness in the buttocks is due to irritation by frequent stools.
Do not rub the area, just wash with water and let it dry on its own.
Avoid top feed, give only breast milk.
If I will be the treating doctor I would have recommended Nadibact plus cream in place of two creams you mentioned for 2 to 3 days and some regular dusting powder on the red area.
Once loose motion stops the area will become normal.
Do not worry about the side effects and continue the medicines.
Hope this answers your query. If any further questions, will be happy to help you.
Regards.
