Question
My child has been a bit diarrhea recently and sometimes has a fever. I’m not sure if it’s caused by electrolyte imbalance. What should I do?
Answer
When babies experience electrolyte imbalance, they often exhibit symptoms such as diarrhea and fever. This could be due to bacterial infection, which can be treated with anti-inflammatory medications and antibiotics. To replenish electrolytes, you can give your baby oral fluids containing sodium, potassium, and water, or follow medical instructions to use specialized electrolyte replenishment solutions. During treatment, the baby may experience some discomfort, but generally, with proper treatment, the baby will gradually recover.
