Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your baby's problem can be due to yeast infection. This can occur secondary to antibiotic therapy. Clotrimazole cream for local application will be helpful for this. Avoid soaps and irritants to wash the genital area and instead you can use saline or warm water. Keep the area aerated. Giving probiotics is also good.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
