Suma, generally small kids tend to put everything in the mouth n this is a route of infection. Keep him hydrated with watery buttermilk, apple Juice extracted with the skin n then strained, + fruit juices that he likes, nicely mashed rice n dal/ buttermilk etc will keep him hydrated.

Watch out for foul smell, blood streaks or weakness. If the child is well hydrated, u may wait for a day before seeing the doctor. U have to worry if he has pain, fever, vomiting or dehydration.

To know dehydration, simply try to gather his skin on the tummy between index finger n thumb. Very loose skin indicates bad dehydration. This is just a tip in extreme case. My paediatrician used to say, 'Don't worry; most Loose motions are self limiting.'

He may not b able to swallow methi seeds. Soak it in waterwater n mix that water with his feed.
