What is A 3-year-old girl is brought for diarrhea of 2 weeks duration. She weights 8 kg and her height is 93 cm. What IV fluids should she be given? and explain in detail?
Milk and water are both fine. However, if your child refuses solids, give your child just milk, rather than water. Most toddlers don&;t need oral glucose-electrolyte solutions such as Pedialyte unless the child is dehydrated. Avoid fruit juices, because they all make diarrhea worse. If IV is required then give dextrose. Reference: GHAI Essential pediatrics, 8th edition
