Question 2

my 18 mnths doll z suffering frm diarrhea.v r giving medicines but she has lost electrolytes.nd she refuses to drink pedialyte.is milk sufficient?

Accepted Answer

Diarrhea : Use a syringe and give her five ml every fifteen minutes of pedialyte.  Milk is not recommended as may worsen her diarrhea and is not a choice for hydration.

Question 3

does pedialyte increase appetite?

Accepted Answer

No: Pedialyte is extremely low in calories.  Because of the lack of calories, it leaves babies hungry.  They will need to be fed more often.  The pedialyte should not be used more than 24-48 hours without another food source.

Question 4

can pedialyte be bad if you aren't sick?

Accepted Answer

No.: As with everything in life, moderation is good. Pedialyte is sort of like expensive, bad tasting gatorade.

Question 5

can i give my son unrefrigerated pedialyte?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Sometimes refrigerated to improve the taste. Unopened OK. Once it has been opened, better to keep it chilled but you can warm it to room temperature before giving it. If you are using it for vomiting, give small amounts often. If not working, have him seen. All the best.

Question 6

is it ok to give pedialyte to infants if they're not sick?

Accepted Answer

Unnecessary: It wont harm the baby, but it's unnecessary.  You want to give your baby her best nutrition which is breast milk or formula.   She needs the fat, carbohydrates and protein for her little brain and body to grow.

Question 7

are the pedialyte freezer pops ok for both adults and kids?

Accepted Answer

Yes: This is expensive popsicles for an adult but there is no  risk to their use. It is basically balanced IV solution with flavoring. If you have it you can use it.

Question 8

can pedialyte cause harm to infants?

Accepted Answer

possibly: Any product when given in excess could have negative effects.I have seen infants force fed the product develop profuse diarrhea that only stopped when it was limited.  If it is given for an extended period with no form of nutrition, the infant will develop starvation. It is a safe and effective hydration solution when used as part of a balanced treatment plan.

Question 9

can pedialyte cause headaches and migraines in adults?

Accepted Answer

Possible: I&#x27;m not aware of migraine headaches as a direct consequence of normal consumption of Pedialyte in adults, however, it can commonly cause G.I. symptoms including nausea and vomiting. By indirect extension and in susceptible people this could lead to severe headaches. In general, labeling an item as a migraine trigger requires tracking through time.

Question 10

how much pedialyte for dehydrated adults?

Accepted Answer

Pedialyte in adults: If you having acute vomiting and diarrhea, you drink as much Pedialyte as you can stand to drink. There is no limit on how much - this is a case where more is better if it is not making you vomit more and you can stand the bad flavor of it. It's also an expensive way to treat your GI illness - water and low sugar sports drinks are equally effective as adults and a bit more palatable
