hello dear!
no its not because of heat in medicines,its because of acid in the stools caused by bacteria.
you can use diaper rash cream.
One of the best home remedy is to apply cornflour in place of baby powder whenever you wash after stools.
Also you can use "hydrozole cream".
Give her syp. Zinc 5 ml once daily for 10 days along with lots of fluid to replenish fluid lose in stools like ORS.You can give her home made green tea made up of mint leaves(4-5) and ajwain seeds(Ajowan caraway, bishop's weed or carom) about a pinch in a glass of water ,boil for 1-2 mins.
give her this green tea about 2-3 ounces per day frequently after stools.
Give her home made yogurt preferably on very tender khichri(rice and lentil cereal with small amout of salt).
Hope it will help.
Wishing your child good health :-)
