What to do

1. Take small sips. For oral rehydration, follow packaging or ask a pharmacist.
2. Get help if unable to drink or barely urinating.
3. Confusion, marked sleepiness or breathlessness: emergency help. Do not drive.
4. Baby with diarrhea, refusing feeds or fewer wet nappies: seek advice now. If feeding safely, offer usual breastfeeds and ask about milk/suitable solution. No homemade mix or improvised extra water.
5. Oral solution: age-suitable product and exact packet water amount. Do not dilute formula. Prescribed fluid restriction: seek urgent individual advice. Do not force litres.
