A member asked:
10yr old son had tonsils out tuesday today he only took a few tiny sips of water. how much fluids does he need to not become dehydrated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fluid requirements..: are calculated by weight, especially in children. If your son isn't starting to feel better and drink more, you should be contacting the surgeon directly for guidance. Signs of dehydration include decreased urination, dry mouth/tongue. A few tiny sips is not enough for an extended period of time - I strongly suggest you contact his physician.
