Diseases of infants and their treatment

By treating infants here we mean establishing a regime for the nurse: if she experiences blood overflow, then she is bled by applying suction cups or opening a vein. If it is overfilled with any juice, it is cleared of excess juice. If it is necessary to strengthen the nature or weaken it, or to stop the rise of vapors in the head, or to improve the functioning of the respiratory organs, or to change a bad nature, then the nurse is treated with appropriate means.

If the nurse is being treated with laxatives, or has severe diarrhea on its own, or is being treated by inducing vomiting, or has severe vomiting on its own, then it is best to entrust the feeding of the child to another woman that day.

Now let us mention specific diseases that occur in infants. Such diseases include inflammation of the letters, tumors that occur in the gums as teeth grow, or inflammation in the area of ​​the tendons of both jaws, and spasm of these tendons.

Regarding diarrhea that occurs in children, especially during teething, some believe that this is caused by the fact that the child absorbs salty, pus-like discharge on the gums along with the milk. It is possible that this is not the cause of diarrhea, but it comes from the fact that nature at this time is busy creating organs, and not digesting. Perhaps the cause is pain, which also interferes with digestion in weak bodies.

If the diarrhea is minor, then you should not deal with it. If there is a danger of its strengthening, you need to make a poultice on the child’s stomach from the seeds of a rose, or celery, or anise, or cumin, or apply a bandage to his stomach from cumin and rose soaked in vinegar, or from millet boiled in water with the addition of a small amount of vinegar .

If this does not help, then you need to give him one danak of suckling goat rennet in cold water.

Sometimes a child develops a burn on his gums, in which case they apply heated oil and wax; Salted rotten meat is also useful.
