Question
After a one-year-old baby has a high fever and takes medicine, can they still drink calcium water? What should be done if the baby won’t drink water?
Answer
It is not recommended to give calcium water to a baby after they have a fever, as there may be adverse reactions between the medicine and the calcium. It is suggested to give the baby glucose water or dilute salt water to quench their thirst. These drinks help replenish the body’s lost fluids and electrolytes. If the baby continues to have a fever and shows signs of dehydration, such as lack of energy, they should seek medical attention promptly.
