what to do for loose motion at home - #20147
I am really worried because my kid has been having loose motions for the past couple of days. He just turned 5 and last night he woke up crying about belly aches, and it scared me. He's not dehydrated or anything (thankfully), but trying to figure out what to do for loose motion at home is stressing me out! I’ve tried giving him some rice water, and we've been avoiding any dairy but he just doesn’t seem to want to eat anything. Is there anything else I can do for loose motion at home that could help settle his tummy? I did hear about some home remedies like bananas or applesauce but am unsure if they're safe at his age. Plus, I read somewhere that some teas can help. Would it be too much for him? I mean, I just want to make sure it's not something serious but also don’t want to run to the doctor unless it’s really necessary. Are there any warning signs I should be looking out for as well? Any advice on what to do for loose motion at home would really be appreciated before this gets worse!
