Rice Kanji

Boil little water and add 30 grams (or a handful) of rice powder to make the solution into a thin liquid. Add one level teaspoon of salt and water to this liquid to make it up to 1 litre.

Water, Sugar and Salt solution

This solution is an essential medicine for diarrhoea. It is necessary for adults as well as children and infants. After preparing the solution, make sure that you taste it. The solution should not taste too salty. Add lime juice (sour/sweet) or orange juice to taste. Some children prefer to have this solution without orange juice.

Keep this solution in a refrigerator or cold place. Make fresh solution after 24 hours. Wherever possible, boil the water and cool it before adding salt and sugar. Once the solution is ready, do not boil it.

Adults
For 1 litre of water (roughly three soft drink bottles or cans) add 1 level teaspoon of salt and 8 level teaspoons of sugar. Mix and taste

Children
For 1 litre of water, add ¾ teaspoon of salt and 8 level teaspoons of sugar. Mix and taste.

Infants
For 1 liter of water, add ¾ teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of sugar. Mix and taste.

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.

I think its high time you take the child to the doctor now. So take him asap.

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
