Stomach upset remedy

Do not panic! Indigestion is the result of drinking spoilt milk. Do take care the next time you feed your child.


Abdominal cramping, vomiting, stomach pain, sour burp, bloating and loose motion are common side effects. If you experience any of these symptoms, try the following home remedies. In case of no ill effects, just leave the child to go ahead with the daily routine. Try giving peppermint tea. You can add three drops of garlic oil to soya oil (half a cup) and apply gently on the stomach. Make the child drink a glass of hot water with a tablespoon of cider vinegar or lemon juice. Mint juice or essence proves beneficial. A teaspoon of mint juice with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and honey are excellent remedies, especially in children. Try giving ginger tea. You can sweeten the same by adding honey. If the symptoms fail to cease or if there is no improvement in the situation, a pediatrician's guidance is recommended immediately.
