How much PediaVance® Electrolyte should I give to my child?
PediaVance® Electrolyte should be offered at the first signs of diarrhea to maintain electrolyte balance and normal hydration. It should be continued until after the last soft stool. A child should consume enough electrolyte solution to cover normal fluid intake plus replenish fluids lost during diarrhea and/or vomiting. Thus, the actual daily amount to be given will vary from child to child depending on the child’s age, weight, number of stools, and severity of the illness. Always consult with your child’s healthcare professional to determine the amount and frequency of PediaVance® Electrolyte to be given. PediaVance® Electrolyte can be given every 1-4 hours. A child can consume up to 64 fluid ounces per day to replenish fluids while diarrhea continues.
