Stomach Infection with Sodium Level Low
My 3 year old daughter had a stomach infection yesterday for which her paediatrician suggested Emeset, Sporlac and O2M syrup for 3 days. Today she was continuously drowsy and slept for prolonged hours, suspecting something was wrong as it is quite unusual for her to sleep for long hours I rushed to her Paediatrician again and upon checking through stethoscope he mentioned that her sodium levels are low and ORS needs to be given. My daughter still looks tired and not active enough. Is there any serious underlying condition that I should be worried about or would just consuming ORS resolve her health issue. Also, there were no blood or urine tests conducted. Please suggest.

Give ors after every loose motions or every 2 hourly to keep the child hydrated. Avoid milk for few days and continue rest of the medicines as prescribed by your pediatrician.
