Question
Dear expert: My child is 8 months old and has been suffering from diarrhea for 6 days. Initially, it was accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea. After receiving an injection for vomiting at the village doctor’s clinic, the vomiting stopped, and the child’s spirit improved, but the diarrhea persists.
Answer
Firstly, I wish your child a speedy recovery! In addition to paying attention to your child’s diet and hygiene, I recommend the following recipes for pediatric diarrhea: 1) Take half a bowl of soup made from one head of garlic, cooked and then fried. Add sugar and take it once a day, three times a day. It is effective after one day and can treat dysentery if taken continuously for three days. 2) Boil 3 grams of pepper powder, 6 grams of fresh ginger, and 6 grams of soybean powder in water. 3) Use 10 grams of black tea or flower tea, add a little vinegar, soak in boiling water, and apply externally.
