Hi My 3 yr old is having diarhea since 3 days.When ever he goes for motion mucous is coming in his stools.I am giving him only Curd rice which i do whenever he has diarhea.If i give medicine he is vomiting.What should i do. Sridharvijji
Well in our family, if there were any motions, we did this: 1. Boil some water (a glass/cup amt) and let it cool down to get to warm/lukewarm temperature. 2. Take small pinch of salt and mix it in the water. 3. Add quarter tea spoons of sugar and mix with the water. You have to saturate the water with the sugar. So after adding every time the sugar, stir the water well and again add. Do this process till you see the first time a SMALL clump of crystallized sugar (at the bottom of the glass, etc) that no longer mixes with the water even after stirring. At that point, let the person drink it. This solidifies the stool and lessens the urge to go to bathroom again and again. Every time the person goes to bathroom, let them drink that afterwards. Soon, it should stop. Also, it's better to make fresh new glass every time the person drinks than making large amt of it and drinking in interval. If not a fresh glass, it lessens the impact on the immune system I think. Also, people can die of diarrhea (usually from the fatigue) so if it continues for more than 4-6 times, take the person to the doctor. -------------------- more info about causes of diarrhea is here: Diarrhea I think its high time you take the child to the doctor now. So take him asap.
Hi, For severe diahrroe,natural remedy may not work.Take to doctor who may give injection if you kid vomits medicine.Drips may be helpful to restore lost fluid.
Hi what Serenity_John said is very true reg Doctor and salt n sugar water mixture. i assume that you already went to doctor and took advice. u have to give lot of coconut water too, and you should see that he is not dehydrated. Skavi
hi, if he has loose motions for 3 days i think you would have taken him to the doctor already. since he is losing water, the best thing is salt and sugar in hot water this will help repalce the lsot water and mineral content in the body, this mix is also readily available in the medical shop called "ORS " oral rehydration . so ensure he drinks plenty of this solution , when my kid had it dr advised me to avoid milk totally and also there are lactobacillus powder available at medical shop that will help in improving the digestion. or you can give butter milk as this bacteria is found naturally in curd take doctor advise
