sanskrit

If some illness affects the child, then the physician, after cautiously examining the child, should thoroughly analyze his constitution, etiological factors, premonitory signs and symptoms, and all other factors concerned such as time and place, and then should proceed to treat him by medication that is sweet in taste and smell, soft, light, cold and pleasant. Such measures suit the palate of the children and make the administering of drugs that much easier. As regards a healthy child, the regimen prescribed for regular consumption is the same as that mentioned as code of conduct for the healthy. Following these ensures that the child attains the excellence of strength, healthy complexion, bodily growth and longevity.
