For a 1-year-old with diarrhea, safe home remedies include using cooked green bananas and homemade oral rehydration solutions.
When treating diarrhea in a 1-year-old at home, there are some remedies that can help. Cooked green bananas have been shown to be helpful. They can help reduce diarrhea and are easy to prepare. You can boil the bananas and mash them into a soft consistency that your child can eat.
Another option is an oral rehydration solution. These help keep your child hydrated and can be bought over-the-counter. It is important to be cautious with homemade options because the mixture of salt/sugar to fluids is important.
It's important to keep the child hydrated and comfortable. If the diarrhea persists or if there are signs of dehydration, like a dry mouth or no tears when crying, it's important to seek medical attention.
