Rash in bum of toddler

Hello, my daughter is almost 5. As I was cleaning her today I noticed that her bum was quite red and looked like there was skin peeling. She usually poops properly but has been constipated last 2 days. She has not complained of any pain or problems except that her poop was hard while coming and pained a bit.her poops otherwise normal and she is fine too. I have attached a pic of what I saw. The picture was taken on phone and it looks very bright although in reality it's a milder version. Can I apply t bact or oil on her bum. Is this how it usually is. I'm not sure. Please advise. I m worried that it will cause problems if I leave it unattended. Thank you very much in advance.

Not getting hungry and not chewing food

Hello, We try to give all type of foods to our son, but he only prefers the mashed form. Recently he started having biscuits and stuff, but after suffering from cold cough there is a sudden change in his eating habit. Since past few days, He is spitting everything out and not getting hungry. He always cried and refuse food when offered. His weight and height are just okay. Very worried. Please suggest a solution.

Recurring fever

My 3.5yr old boy had fever for two days which was treated with paracetamol drops with dosage according to weight. Each time it was given fever would subside then come back in 4hrs or so. After second day half of such treatment it stopped. He became active and was active the entire third day also without fever. Now on the fourth day morning there is a slight fever and he prefers lying down without much activity.
