Hi thanks for writing to Healthcare magic.
I understand that your baby is having acute gastroenteritis. Please give him 1/4 the glass ORS after each loose motions. May be baby might vomit while taking ORS you can use a anti vomiting medicine .
For nappy rash , avoid using pampers while child has loose motions. The gel that forms in nappy itself can cause the nappy rash by irritating the skin. If I were your treating doctor I would have kept baby pamper free and used fusidic acid 3 times a day to heal the rash.
In case babues activity decreased , blood in motions or fever in baby kindly visit pediatrician.
In case any more query I am happy to answer, else rate this answer and close the discussion.
