hi sir/madam,
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.

Teething is the most common cause for diarrhoea in infants. However, diarrhoea in infants can also be caused due to infection, viral gastroenteritis, bacteria etc. Diarrhoea in infants can be treated with home remedies easily.

Home Remedies for Infant Diarrhoea:-

1. Offer buttermilk eliminating other dairy products from diet.

2. Give mixture of honey and dried ginger powder to the infant every few hours. This will help curbing diarrhoea.

3. Equal amount of dried aniseed and sugar also helps. Keep this mixture on the tongue of your child every one hour.

4. Give pomegranate juice at regular intervals. This will help in rehydrating the child.

5. Cut one apple and boil it in water till it is tender. Add one teaspoon of sugar and 2 pinches of nutmeg. Feed the child with the mixture.

6. Add 3 cups of water to one chopped papaya. Boil for 10 minutes and then strain the papaya from water. Feed 2 teaspoons four times a day.

7. Avoid giving peaches, plums and apricots.

8. Yogurt is the only dairy product that works as binder and aids the digestive system and helps to cure diarrhoea.

Hope i was helpful.
