Can PediaVance® be used when my child is sick and vomiting?
When a child is ill and vomiting, an oral rehydration solution such as PediaVance® can help prevent dehydration. Children will usually gladly drink an oral rehydration solution because they are thirsty. However, if vomiting persists and the child is unable to consume an adequate amount of liquids, this warrants an immediate call to the child’s healthcare. Persistent vomiting or vomiting caused by a bowel obstruction will require use of intravenous (IV) therapy.
