A member asked:
How to convince child with mild dehydration to take ors, she refuse oral intake & stops diet since 2 days,whats the solution apart from iv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Oral hydration: Children will often refuse oral rehydration solutions because of their taste. Using an alternate brand, freezing the ORS into ice pops or using a dropper to give small frequent amounts may help.
