A member asked:
How much maximum peditral ors in ml can i take in a day in case of severe diarrhea and for how many days may i take this max amount in a row?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No set max amount: It depends on several factors including how severe patient is dehydrated, weight, cause of dehydration, electrolyte values in labs, co-morbid conditions patient might have, if they have Diabeties, high BP etc. General rule is 64 ounces of fluid intake is recommended for a 70kg person. Hope this helps!
