home remedy for loose motion and vomiting - #15864

Keya

I am really worried about my son, he’s been dealing with loose motion and vomiting for the past two days. It started after he ate some street food, and at first, I thought it was just a weird case of an upset stomach but it got worse. He’s been running to the bathroom constantly and his appetite is non-existent. I tried giving him some water and a little bit of plain rice, but he can’t seem to keep anything down, especially after he vomited twice last night. I’m looking for a good home remedy for loose motion and vomiting, because honestly, I’d prefer to avoid a trip to the ER if I can help it. I’ve read about using ginger tea or maybe some electrolytes, but I’m not sure what’s best. Like, does anyone know if there’s a specific home remedy for loose motion and vomiting that really works? I’m getting overwhelmed; he seems so weak and tired, and I just want him to feel better. Any advice on what home remedy for loose motion and vomiting would be safe for him at his age? He’s only 7, and I’m just at a loss here, any help would be appreciated!

Doctors' responses

Considering that your son’s loose motion and vomiting started after eating street food, it sounds like he might be dealing with gastroenteritis, often due to infections like viruses or bacteria. The primary concern with this illness is dehydration, especially in children, so it’s crucial to keep him hydrated. You can try Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) which is an effective way to prevent dehydration; it can be made at home by dissolving 6 teaspoons of sugar and half a teaspoon of salt in one liter of clean water. Offer small but frequent sips every few minutes. Ginger tea can be helpful for nausea, though in children it’s best to keep flavors mild and not too strong. If you have fresh ginger, you can steep a small slice in warm—not hot—water, and offer it in small spoonfuls. Bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast (the BRAT diet) are often recommended, though given that your son finds it difficult to keep solid food down, starting with banana or applesauce might be easier options. Watch out for any signs of severe dehydration like sunken eyes, very dry mouth, or lethargy. If his condition doesn’t improve within a day or if he becomes significantly dehydrated, you should consult a healthcare professional. Avoiding lactose-containing foods and high-fat foods can help reduce symptoms once he can tolerate a bit of food. Also, do note that while home remedies are supportive, they shouldn’t replace medical advice in serious or persistent cases. If his symptoms persist or worsen, seeking professional medical evaluation remains essential.
