Question
A colleague recently had a baby, and when I visited her, she mentioned that her baby has hyponatremia. What are the symptoms of this condition? Is it easy to treat? How long does it usually take to recover?
Answer
This condition is caused by renal dysfunction. It is often due to insufficient intake of sodium that leads to hyponatremia. Symptoms can be relieved through medication, and the prognosis is generally good. During this period, patients should pay attention to nutritional supplementation. Babies can absorb nutrition through breastfeeding, which aids in recovery.
