My son is ill with pneumonia, hates pedialyte, and won't drink anything...what should i do i know gatorade isn't good, but not sure what to give him

If : If he has diarrhea, then pedialyte is the best thing to give him since sugary drinks can worsen diarrhea. If he does not have diarrhea, then you can give him anything he wants! water, juice and milk are all fine along with tea and broth. Keeping him hydrated is one of the best things you can do for him while he heals from his illness. Good luck!

Be practical: You give whatever you can get in him.Apple sause is 95% water and chilled it tastes like vanilla ice ceram.Gateraid is okay if cut 1/2 with water. Peaches and pears can be turned into a slushy and given as a fluid.
