A member asked:
Baby is 6 months old and been having 30ml of water measured out for her water for the day. today she took a bigger drink than normal and swallowed approx 10ml in one offering, will she be ok or can she get water intoxification?.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Infants do not need supplemental water. Their breast milk/formula supplies all their fluid needs. An occasional water bottle (4 oz) used if the kid is constipated or to allow a family member to nurture baby is a cultural event that is fine. You are not going to water overload baby with that minimal exposure.

My throat is really painful if i gulp water or other drink. Normal swallowing is fine. It's not a sore throat type pain but it feels intense.
Mucus in my throat can't seem to get rid of the mucus in my throat. Swallowing and coughing them won't take care of the problem. I enjoy drinking ice cold water. Could this be the problem.
