Child diarrhoea — loose stools; fluids and salts first.
Food Remedies
Main remedy
Keep giving sips of water with a pinch of salt and sugar. Mashed banana binds the stool; soft curd-rice and rice water (maand) feed without straining the gut. A tiny rub of nutmeg in water is the old remedy for watery motions. See a doctor for blood in stool, high fever, or a dry-mouthed, dull child.
A ripe mashed banana two or three times a day binds loose motions.
