A member asked:

3 yrs old has diarhea for 5 days. whites of her eyes seems likely washed out. i.e really white. why could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible dehydration: When the body is deprived of fluids or has abnormal losses such as diarrhea, the blood vessels contract to preserve circulation to the vital organs such as brain, kidneys and heart. I strongly recommend giving oral rehydration solution and this can be Pedialyte, or made from ORS packets, or make your own from 6 teaspoons (30 ml) or sugar + 1/2 teaspon (2.5 ml) salt in 1 liter of H2O.
