Diarrhea can be a recurring problem with some small children. This can not only make life very difficult and uncomfortable for children but also the mothers. You can try some remedies at home. But you should remember that if your baby does not seem to be getting better or if she has very frequent motions, you should not hesitate to consult her doctor.
In addition to ensuring that you baby only drinks boiled water, you should watch to see if there is any correlation between a certain food item that she has eaten and the onset of her diarrhea. You can peel and grate an apple. Leave it in a bowl till it turns brown. Feed this to your baby. This is generally effective. Another effective remedy for diarrhea involves splitting the milk. Boil it and add lemon juice at the exact moment of its boiling over. This will cause the milk to split. Discard the lumps of spilt milk and use the liquid instead. Give this to your child to stop the diarrhea.
for a bad cough you should ensure that you baby is well wrapped. Give her some warm water to sip. You can also add some honey and lemon juice to this.
