It is safe for pediatric cases and it comes in delicious flavors that kids love. You can give DripDrop with a spoon, a 20 cc syringe or through a sippy cup for young children. Older children should sip the solution slowly (waiting 10-20 seconds between sips).

Mild dehydration due to illness in children over 1 year old
You can also try giving your child water or ice chips. Electrolyte solutions like Pedialyte or Gatorade will help your child replace both fluids and electrolytes that have been lost.
Sports drinks are not appropriate for children as the high electrolyte content can cause imbalances in your child's system, which can be dangerous. Water is good for hydration; however, if they drink too much water, it can dilute electrolytes, causing imbalance.
What is the age limit for Immune Support? We recommend Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier+ Immune Support for healthy adults and children over the age of 4. If you have any questions or concerns, please consult your doctor.
Liquid I.V. doesn't contain other electrolytes like magnesium, calcium, or chloride, which your body needs for proper hydration. On the other hand, DripDrop supplies vitamins and minerals like zinc, potassium, and magnesium. These are essential to support your overall health and address dehydration.
Is BIOLYTE safe for children to drink? Although BIOLYTE is safe for many children, we recommend watering down BIOLYTE for anyone consuming our beverage under the age of 14.
If your baby keeps vomiting, switch to a rehydrating solution, such as Pedialyte, which contains sugar and salts. For children six months to one year, it's important not to use water. For children older than one year, use diluted apple juice or sports drink. Dilute the drink with water, using half water and half drink.
The best treatment for mild dehydration is to give your child more fluid to drink, such as water or oral rehydration solutions. Gastrolyte, HYDRAlyte, Pedialyte and Repalyte are different types of oral rehydration solutions (fluids) that can be used to replace fluids and body salts.
For mild dehydration in a child age 1 to 11: Give extra fluids in frequent, small sips, especially if the child is vomiting. Choose clear soup, clear soda, or Pedialyte, if possible. Give popsicles, ice chips, and cereal mixed with milk for added water or fluid.
Ultimately, sports drinks like Gatorade aren't as effective as an oral rehydration solution like DripDrop for managing dehydration. Sports drinks marketed for hydration are high in sugar and have too few electrolytes.
Give the child a drink made with 6 level teaspoons of sugar and 1/2 level teaspoon of salt dissolved in 1 litre of clean water. Be very careful to mix the correct amounts. Too much sugar can make the diarrhoea worse. Too much salt can be extremely harmful to the child.
Pedialyte and similar oral rehydration solutions such as Liquid I.V. are often a go-to for parents to avoid dehydration when their child is sick. They also can be a good option to stay hydrated while being active during summer heat, with less sugar than sports drinks.
Yes, DripDrop is absolutely safe for everyday use.
Research shows that you can relieve mild dehydration in about 45 minutes. However, for moderate to severe dehydration, you'll take longer to recover, but this depends on the type and amount of fluids and electrolytes you take.
DripDrop as an ORS
Each 10-gram serving contains 35 calories and seven grams of sugar, which is half the sugar of a comparable serving of a sports drink like Gatorade.
While Gatorade should never be used as a substitute for milk, infants and toddlers can safely drink Gatorade beverages once they are weaned off breast milk or formula and begin consuming food, fruit juices, and other beverages.
IV hydration is a treatment that rapidly rehydrates children by delivering fluids directly into their bloodstream. Cali Kids Urgent Care uses a small needle inserted into a vein in their arm. Your child's IV hydration may also include electrolytes, vitamins, and in some cases, medication, depending on their needs.
Electrolytes are minerals in the blood, such as sodium and potassium. When they are not at the right levels, your child can feel very ill. Your child may feel weak or numb, have muscle spasms, or twitch. His or her heart may beat fast.
