What should I do if my 8-month-old baby doesn't drink water?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. What should I do if my 8-month-old baby doesn't drink water?

Doctor's answer:

The baby refuses to drink water. You can cook pear water or use another method, which is to mix calcium water. Both of these are slightly sweet and the baby loves to drink them. Babies who don't drink enough water are prone to getting hot easily. Silver flower (extract) can also be given to the baby, but it's best to dilute it with water before drinking, as it can be too sweet.
Diarrhea: In children, diarrhea is usually caused by indigestion, viral infections, or bacterial infections. Symptoms of diarrhea are recommended to be treated with oral probiotics like Bifidus. It's important to drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration. Oral rehydration salts can be used, but if they are ineffective, hospitalization for intravenous treatment may be necessary.
