What should I do if the baby has severe dehydration due to diarrhea recently?

Patient's question:

For the past few days, my baby has had diarrhea, which has led to dehydration. He keeps having diarrhea non-stop. What should I do now?

Doctor's answer:

If the baby has infant diarrhea leading to dehydration, this situation requires supplementing the child with some liquid salts. Supplementing liquid salts can help the child replenish some energy while also alleviating dehydration symptoms. Additionally, when you notice that the child is experiencing this, it is essential to give them more warm water and remember to add some nutritious foods for them. Drinking more milk can also help alleviate symptoms in the child.
