loose motion instant relief - #15146
I am sitting here, freaking out because my little one has had loose motions for the past two days! I can’t even count how many times we’ve run to the bathroom, and it seems like nothing is helping. I tried some over-the-counter stuff, but no instant relief yet! I even thought about offering some bananas, but I’m worried that might not be enough for those loose motions. Last night, he woke up crying, and I just don’t know what to do. Our pediatrician told us to keep him hydrated, but honestly, I'm feeling lost on how to get some instant relief for these loose motions. Should I be looking into probiotics or maybe some kind of home remedy? I’ve read about rice water or even boiled potatoes being good, but is that legit? I’m just anxious because he seems so uncomfortable and cranky. Any quick suggestions for instant relief that actually work to stop these loose motions? Or should I be concerned it’s something more serious? Every website I checked seems to have different advice, and I just need something that would work fast!
