Help please! could dehydration in babies cause seizures?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Dehydration may effect the body's concentration of sodium and other minerals as well as the body's acid/base balance causing seizures. In addition blood sugar levels may also be affected by dehydration causing seizures. Speak to your doctor about your concerns.
