Saliva irritation: You can try petrolatum (Vaseline) or Aquaphor (a healing ointment). If those do not help, you can try 0.5% hydrocortisone cream 2-3x/day for up to 7 days. Also, keep the area as dry as possible (from the saliva). If still worsening or not improving, please consult with her doctor or do a telemedicine visit on HealthTap if you have access.

Rash: Wipe her face often to dry it. Apply vaseline or Aquaphor. Make an appointment with a pediatric dental specialist, a Pedodontist, for examination and help.
