Hello,
Based on your history, redness around the anal area for which antibiotics have been prescribed could be due to an infection, inflammation, or an anal fissure, which should be ruled out on examination.
As the medication has been started only since yesterday, please continue and complete the prescribed course.
Meanwhile:
* Ensure proper hydration
* Give a high-fibre diet (fruits, vegetables, whole grains) to avoid constipation
* If a zinc oxide–containing cream has been prescribed, apply it as advised to protect the skin
Please consult your paediatrician for a direct examination after completing the antibiotic course.

Greetings
anal redness, swelling, and severe crying require immediate consultation with a doctor to evaluate for conditions like an anal fissure or infection. It is essential to verify with a pediatrician if the prescribed amoxicillin/clavulanate, ibuprofen/paracetamol, and the "blue liquid" are appropriate for these symptoms. For comfort, a doctor might suggest warm sitz baths, applying a barrier cream like zinc oxide, and increasing fluid intake to ensure soft stools. The "blue liquid" must be identified to ensure it is safe and necessary, as using unverified medicine can be harmful. The symptoms could suggest a bacterial infection or severe diaper dermatitis, which need Pediatrician diagnosis. Seek immediate medical care if you observe spreading redness, a high fever, or blood in the stool.

Based on what you described, it sounds like your doctor diagnosed inflammation/infection around the anal area and started treatment. Since it has been only 1 day, it is too early to judge whether the medicines are working. Continue all the medicines exactly as prescribed unless your doctor advises otherwise.
Crying during passing stool may continue for 1–2 more days while the inflammation settles. Make sure your baby drinks enough fluids, eats fruits and fiber (if taking solids), and avoid constipation. Clean the area gently with water after each stool and keep it dry.
Please take your baby back to the doctor immediately if:
* The swelling becomes larger or very painful.
* Pus starts coming out.
* Fever develops.
* Your baby refuses feeds, becomes unusually sleepy, or cries continuously.
* There is no improvement after 48–72 hours of treatment.
