Stomach ache can make one feel extremely uncomfortable. More so, if it occurs in toddlers. ROSHANI DEVI shares easy home remedies that can help ease the pain and discomfort
Stomach aches are common. While some go away on their own, others can be extremely painful. And if it is a toddler who is suffering from one then you are definitely in for a sleepless night.
Here are a few home remedies that can help.
First, keep your child hydrated at all times. Water or fresh fruit juice will work wonders.
Second, try warm compress. The best thing about warm compress is that it does not have any side effects and it provides quick relief. But make sure the cloth or heating pad is not too warm.
Third, try applying hing diluted in water on the tummy area. Take a pinch of hing, add some water to it and heat the paste until it becomes lukewarm.
Fourth, honey can also do the trick. Add honey in warm water and make your toddler drink it.
Last, but not the least give a massage. The aching nerves and muscles of the stomach area can be relieved by enhancing the blood circulation around it and this can be easily achieved by giving a gentle massage. Using your palms and fingers, gently massage in circular motions in the clockwise direction around the navel area of your child.
