How much pedialyte should an adult drink who's been throwing up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why pedialyte ?: Rehydration by mouth is a simple process of taking sips almost continuously.You don't want to take in any large volume at one time or the irritated stomach may just make you barf.Take in enough that you need to pee every 6-8 hours and you will be on the mend.You can use 1/2 strength Gateraid or similar product as an adult. Pedialyte is balanced for infants which wouldn't hurt but it tastes awful.
