Question
My child suddenly became weak in their limbs today. After about an hour, their upper limbs recovered somewhat, but their lower limbs still lack strength. What should I do?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, in clinical practice, you can opt for an oral 10% potassium chloride solution. However, the safest and most effective method is to consume more potassium-rich foods, especially fruits and vegetables. Potassium-rich fruits include bananas, strawberries, citrus fruits, grapes, pomelos, watermelons, etc. Vegetables like spinach, yams, soybeans, amaranth, and scallions also contain a good amount of potassium. Various juices, especially orange juice, are also rich in potassium.
