I've always used Oralyte Fruit Flavor Oral Solution for my kids when they're sick with diarrhea or vomiting. It's great for rehydration, but I've seen some people using it like a sports drink. Is this okay? What are the side effects I should be aware of specifically for my kids? I want to make sure I'm doing the right thing.

My cousin had a seizure after using Oralyte. We didn't really know much about side effects. How do we make sure this isn't a problem for anyone else? Should we report this? Can we report this? What do we do?

I never knew Oralyte had so many side effects. My kid had severe diarrhea last week and now I'm worried. We had a fever too, so this is probably why. What do I do if they start having an allergic reaction?

It's pretty crazy to think about how many people might be using this for the wrong reasons. It's really interesting how this works, but only if there's a real need to replace water and electrolytes like with vomiting and diarrhea.

I've used Oralyte for my kids too, and it's been a game-changer. I love the freezer pops for them, but how much should they actually drink? The directions are so confusing.
