Patient's question:
The older girl used to drink very little water but now she needs to drink a lot every day. As soon as she sees the bottle, she wants to drink, and she drinks as much as she can. Even after finishing, she still wants more. During dinner, she holds the bottle while eating a bite of food and sipping some water. She also urinates more and is in good spirits. About half a month ago, she had an inflamed mouth and developed pus, and received IV fluids for several days. I don’t know if it had any effect.Previous treatment and outcomes: None.
Kind of help needed: Is her current condition normal?
Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, children should be given water to drink every day, and drinking a bit more is not a big problem. Generally, there will be no interference at all.Medical advice: However, the condition of your baby is a bit serious. This situation may be due to inflammation or stomach issues that have been occurring for a few days. It's best to let her drink for a period of time and see how it goes.
The above is the advice for the question "Is it good for a 1-year-old child to drink a lot of water?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
