How many cups of fluid should a 13 y. old be drinking every day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hydration: It depends completely on his/her size and weight as well as activity level and ongoing losses. If your child is drinking excessively make sure to check for type1 diabetes. A urine dipstick for sugar can be done at home(they should have no sugar in the urine).
