Patient's question:
What kind of diseases can be treated in general internal medicine? How should one identify if a baby is dehydrated due to diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
How infants can lose water due to diarrhea requires careful observation of the child's urine output and whether their skin is dry, as well as whether they have tears when crying. The key is to monitor the child's urine output; if it decreases again, it may indicate a recurrence of dehydration. The severity of dehydration is determined by the condition and the child's specific symptoms. Different levels of dehydration require different methods of fluid replacement.
