Treating Dehydration in Kids

Treating Dehydration in Kids

Water is essential to a child's health, making up the majority of their body weight. But when illness or heat disrupts that balance, dehydration can set in quickly and dangerously. Despite being one of the most common pediatric issues, the simplest and most effective solution often goes unnoticed: oral rehydration. In this episode, we'll shine a light on this powerful yet underused therapy. From recognizing early warning signs to selecting the best approach, we'll explore the science and practical tools behind keeping children safely hydrated.

Joining us virtually from Iowa is Aamer Imdad, MD. He is a gastroenterologist at Stead Family Children's Hospital, as well as an assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Iowa.

Some highlights from this episode include:

  • The most common causes for dehydration
  • Recognizing the most reliable clinical signs for identifying dehydration
  • How oral rehydration solutions work and which ones to recommend for each patient
  • When lab tests are helpful
