Do you know what can be cured by a pinch of salt, a handful of sugar and a bottle of water? Some of you may know the answer, that the things mentioned above is the easiest recipe to overcome in order to cure diarrhea dehydration in children.

Diarrhea that attacks a child can be fatal if not treated quickly and appropriately. The following symptoms need to be considered if diarrhea occurred in children under the age of 6 months:

• There is blood in the feces as waste water
• Vomiting repeatedly
• abdominal pain
• frequency of urination reduced (using less than 6 diapers per day)
• not the tears when crying
• loss of appetite to consume drinking water
• High fever
• diarrhea / constipation many times
• dry mouth and sticky
• weight loss

Not always advisable to see a doctor if the child looks better despite symptoms:
• frequent bowel, the size of a large dirt
• a lot of intestinal gas
• dirt greenish or yellowish

Usually, mild diarrhea lasts for 3 to 6 days. Sometimes children will experience diarrhea for several days. As long as the child looked fresh and continue to consume enough fluids and food, diarrhea need not worry. The children should continue to eat healthy foods, including formula or milk when you experience mild diarrhea. Breastfeeding also must continue.
