Small Child, Upset Stomach After Eating. Drinking Chamomile Tea Helps. Will Peppermint Tea Help?
Not often does my 8 year old have a sour stomach but sometimes depending on what he has eaten, can get a upset stomach. My husband gives him a little 7 UP and it always works right away and I don t fuss especially since it s bedtime already. If its early enough, I choose a cup of chamomile tea which takes a lot longer to ease the discomfort but it also works. I would like to know if peppermint tea is also another safe tea to give my 8 year for a sour stomach?

Hi I have gone through your complaints. I am feeling pity about the treatment of your child's stomach upset. Tea it's self will cause gastritis. Please kindly avoid giving tea to your child. Aerated drinks are also not the treatment of choice for your child. Please kindly avoid all these things. Your child requires bland diet when ever he feels abdominal discomfort. Give more curds to him and avoid spicy food. I prefer giving him junior lanzol before breakfast.
Thank you. Good day
