Whenever possible, clean the area in a bath or a shower without using soap (soap is an irritant). Plain water or natural cleansing products are usually OK. Be sure to rinse the area well. Then gently dry the area by blotting it with a towel, or use a blow dryer set to light warm or cool.
Use the toilet whenever you feel the urge to have a bowel movement, even if it is several times throughout the day. Try to go as soon as you feel the urge to go; if you delay this urge by more than a few minutes, you might get a reflex constipation and loose the urge to go again for several hours.

Home Remedy Topic: Crying Children
I have an adorable little girl that is constantly fussy/crying, especially around bedtime. Have taken her to the doctor and tried everything from warm baths to standing on my head. Nothing worked. Was talking to my granny about it and she said to try onion water. Cut up 1/2 of an onion, (small and white or yellow) boil in 1/4 Cups of water. Strain and let cool. Place in the fridge for storage. Give your child 3-5 DROPS of the onion juice before bed and you will see a HUGE difference. Stays good for up to 3 months.
*You may add one Tablespoon of honey for taste for toddlers over the age of one year old. Doing this for children any younger, however, is harmful. There are enzymes in the honey that cannot be digested and may cause problems.*
I am 10 years old, when I cry I go ride my horses. If you don't have horses, go lay down, (the coolness of a pillow helps me), read a book, or, hug someone you love!
( The best remedy is love, my horses, dog, and family show it to me when I need it and when I don't!)
