Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I don't know what's wrong with my child. He has had diarrhea all day today. The child is young, so I don't dare to give him any medicine. Now the child's skin has no elasticity, and he keeps looking for water to drink. The amount of urine is very little, and I suspect he is dehydrated. Could you please tell me what to do about dehydration in children with diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you: Summer is a season when germs multiply rapidly in large quantities, and children are more prone to suffering from diarrhea symptoms during this time. If children with diarrhea do not receive timely treatment, they may experience dehydration. When a child has diarrhea, they will feel thirsty. Let them freely drink electrolyte solutions made with oral rehydration salts or plain water without restricting their intake to promote timely urination.
