*Happy Children’s Day! 🧒 Let’s Talk About Tummy Troubles*
Diarrhoea is one of the most common issues in children—especially during hot weather or rainy season. But did you know that many parents give *Flagyl or Tetracycline* right away?
These are *antibiotics*, and in most cases of diarrhoea, especially in children, they’re *not needed*. Many episodes are caused by viruses or contaminated food/water—not bacteria—so antibiotics often don’t help, and may even cause more harm.
*Here’s what helps instead:*
* *Give lots of fluids*: ORS or salt-sugar water to prevent dehydration
* *Feed light, frequent meals*: pap, mashed rice, or banana
* *Keep hands clean*: hygiene really matters!
* If there’s *blood in stool, fever, or the child looks weak*, please see a doctor immediately.
Let’s protect our children with the *right care*, not just the common drugs. Share this to help another parent today.
