The mother (or the nurse) should also be treated in the manner prescribed before (in cases of an affection of the breast-milk).

To a child who takes both breast-milk and other solid food, the emetic should be administered with the admixture of Vachá, and to a much older child (i.e., one who has given up taking breast-milk) the emetic should be given with the admixture of Madana fruit. 11.

Anjanas composed of Manah-ślá, Maricha, Śamkha (conch-shell), Rasánjana and Saindhava pounded together and pasted with honey and treacle should be applied to the affected organ.

The compound prepared by burning black iron (steel), clarified butter, milk and honey mixed together should be similarly used as an Anjana. As an alternative, the Gutikánjana made up of Trikatu, Palándu (onion), Yashti-madhu, Saindhava, Lákshá (lac) and Gairika (earth) pasted together, should be used.
