dysentery home remedies - #18154
I am super worried because my 8-year-old just came down with a nasty case of dysentery. It started with some stomach cramps and then he had really loose stools that were almost like water. We went to the doctor, and they mentioned it might take a while to clear up. They didn't give us a lot of advice on what to do at home but suggested we keep him hydrated and watch his diet. I’ve heard about some dysentery home remedies like ginger tea or maybe some probiotics? I honestly don't want my kid to suffer through this any longer than necessary, and the thought of waiting for it to just go away feels scary. I tried some rice water, and he seems to sip on that okay, but what else can we do? Are there any safe dysentery home remedies that really work? I want to make sure he's getting better, like, ASAP! I’m also nervous about what foods he can eat or avoid right now, and if he should be resting or trying to stay a bit active. Any tips would be super helpful because I just feel lost. Thanks in advance!
