Parents are able to confirm that their children are healthy by looking at certain indicators. These are: feeding well, sleeping well, not crying frequently and playing cheerfully. When children suffer from any of these diseases, the predominant action is to visit the dispensary/clinic/ hospital. In some cases, mothers buy the drugs for treating the ailment from chemist shops. The decisions on the treatment are usually taken by both parents. In place of ORT administration some of the parents visit the dispensary (63.4%) or purchase the drugs from vendor (3%) and administer them. This form of self-medication should be discouraged. Treatment given at home and treatment with native medicine are still common.
