POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy2 years agoA. With moderate to severe diarrhea, your child may need to drink an oral rehydration solution (ORS) like Pedialyte® to help prevent dehydration. An ORS replaces the electrolytes and fluids that your child needs. You can buy ORS in liquid or powder form or as popsicles at most pharmacies without a prescription.Oral rehydration solutions are strongly recommended for infants and toddlers with diarrhoea, and for any child with frequent diarrhoea or vomiting. Children younger than 6 months with diarrhoea should see a doctor. Anti-diarrhoeal medicines are not suitable for use in children.Most diarrhea in children is caused by viruses. Diarrhea can also be caused by bacteria, parasites, changes in diet (such as drinking too much fruit juice), problems with the intestines (such as allergy to foods), and the use of some medicines.
