Whatever problem your child is facing, the best option is to consult his/her pediatrician or atleast a call. The suggestions mentioned below is based on my experience and the advice carried from generations of grandmother and my friends.
Repeated vomitting or Diarrhea/Diarrhoea:
BRAT Diet:
B - bread (white,not brown), bananas- raw and ripe
R - Rice (phen, kanji, pori, avil, khoi, rice cakes, Rice Krispies cereal, Horchata (Mexican rice drink), Suero (Puerto Rican rice drink, Rice Dream packaged milk)
A - Applesauce (mash boiled apple), apple juice- in limited quantities
T - Tea , Toast
Other than above - Jelly Pudding (Jello), Marie biscuit, noodles - only boiled with little olive oil or little butter, Fruit Loops cereal, light fish curry + rice, Potato chips(home made) , mung dal khichri- punjabi style), Aloo boiled, raw banana mashed, chicken soup (clear- no vegetables), Chicken noodle soup, chicken rice soup
Preferably NO Milk or if u really want to - Soy milk or Lactose Free milk- like Lactaid.
After Diarrhoea subsides curd rice can be given, or buttermilk.
For Stomach Ache
- For infants: Add small amount of Asafoetida powder to half spoon warm water. Rub it on the naval regions.
- Warm castor oil and rub it around naval.
For Cold
- Boil big (black) Cardamom(seeds powdered) with Milk and give to your baby to drink.
- Heat Mustard oil in pan with few Ajwain / kala jeera and garlic till they turn black -> strain this oil and apply it every night on baby's feet, palm and back of ears.
- Give Honey with Ginger juice (1+ yrs)
- Add Turmeric powder with baby's milk. Boil it and make your baby drink it with a spoon of honey.
- A herb called "Doddapathre" or "karpuravalli"...this works wonders.
You can wash the leaves in slightly warm drinking water, heat the leaves on the tava till u feel it is really hot(this kills bacteria). Now squeeze the juice, mix few drops of honey and administer.
Alternatively, heat the leaves on the tawa and give hot-formentation(check on ur skin b4 u place on baby). Include areas such as head, forehead, bridge of the nose, chest and back. Gives fantastic relief.

For Loose Stools
- Steam a raw Banana with a pinch of salt and feed him.
- Nutmeg powder (1/8 of a nutmeg) in honey can stop loose motions.
But, meically if there is any foreign object in the body which causes loose motion one shud let it go & not worry for 4-5 times of loose stool. After that if it's continuing without control you can try the options mentioned.
- also juice of vilvam leaves can help in loose motions.
Constipation problem
- Raisins, Prunes, Boiled Palak,Plantains and Musambi juice
Body Heat (not same as fever)
- good oil massage and bath preferably coconut oil
- less spicy food
- include more of fresh juices and veg salads ..
- Buttermilk and not curd. NO CURD after sunset.
- Raw Mango juice is good.
- Pudina is very good for stomach too.
- Head bath is important.
