Question
My baby is four and a half months old, and we’re going back to my hometown at the end of the month. My mother-in-law is worried about the baby experiencing not acclimatized and wants to bring some mud back home, saying she will boil it for the baby to drink. Can the baby drink this, and is it unsanitary?
Answer
This should be an unscientific traditional remedy. The term " not acclimatized" refers to a patient’s inability to adapt to the climate or sanitation conditions of a new environment. With modern sanitation being good, the main issue is climate-related. Just make sure not to catch a cold. It is not recommended to use your mother-in-law’s method. Just pay attention to dietary hygiene and keep warm. These are the suggestions for the question “Can you drink mud water for not acclimatized?” I hope this helps you, and wish you health!
