Pediatric Electrolytes
Pediatric Electrolytes
Babies, toddlers, and young children often get sick. If they have diarrhea and/or vomiting, it is important to combat dehydration. A pediatric electrolyte can help. An electrolyte solution delivers the right balance of sugar and electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and chloride to replenish vital fluids and minerals. Pediatric electrolyte solutions are available in a variety of flavors, making it easier to find one that your child will enjoy. For taste, it is best to serve pediatric electrolyte drinks chilled. As an alternative or in addition to a liquid electrolyte solution, you may want to offer your child electrolyte popsicles. Pediatric electrolyte powder sticks are another option that works well for travel – to prepare, simply mix the flavored powder into water. Pediatric oral electrolyte solution is suitable for children aged 1 and above. Consult your doctor before administering to an infant less than 1 year old. It’s also a good idea to check in with your doctor if your child has diarrhea and/or vomiting for longer than a 24 hour period.
