Question

What should I do if my baby has diarrhea and red buttocks?

Answer

Hello, this may be due to damp-heat. Dampness is considered Yin evil and should be warmed, while heat is Yang evil and should be cleared. Therefore, damp-heat should be treated with both cold and warmth. The Banxia Xiaoxin Decoction can be used to treat it by using a combination of acrid opening and bitter descending.
