Fluid And Electrolyte Disorder

Salt and water balance can tip quickly in a small child — too dry after diarrhoea, or too diluted after the wrong fluids.

Fluid And Electrolyte Disorder

Salt and water balance can tip quickly in a small child — too dry after diarrhoea, or too diluted after the wrong fluids.

We judge hydration from eyes, mouth, urine and weight, then choose ORS, IV fluids or a change in what the family is offering at home.

Understand

What we explain in clinic

Dehydration

Dry

No urine, dry tongue, doughy skin and a child who is less playful.

Overload

Wet

Puffy face and fast breathing after too much free water or IV fluid.

Sodium / potassium

Labs

Irritability, weakness or an irregular heart can be a salt problem.

Infants

Fast

A baby’s water tank is small. Hours matter, not days.

Evaluation

What we look for

Hydration score

Exam

We do not treat a lab number without looking at the child.

ORS vs IV

Choose

Most children still do well with measured ORS. Some need a drip.

What not to give

Home

Plain water in huge amounts, soda, or adult ORS powders mixed ‘by eye’.

Teach

Mix

We show the exact ORS mix so the next illness is safer.

At Grace Clinic

How care is planned

01

Listen first

We take a full history — onset, feeding, fever, sleep, school and any earlier reports.

02

Examine & chart

Growth, chest, tummy, skin and development are checked. Tests are advised only if they change care.

03

Treat & follow

A clear home plan is given, with a review so we know the child is settling.

When to book

Urgent if there is no urine, repeated vomiting of ORS, or a puffy child who is breathless.
