It can help with dehydration caused by vomiting, diarrhea, or too much perspiration.
Pregnant women should only use it if their doctor says it's okay, especially if they have gestational diabetes, kidney difficulties, or high blood pressure. This is because the drink has sugar and electrolytes in it.
Expert advice:
When you are dehydrated because of heat, activity, illness, or travel, use Pedialyte.
Don't use it instead of regular drinking water to stay hydrated.
Keep it in a cool, dry location, and put it in the fridge when you open it.
Throw away any part that you don't use within 24 hours of opening.
If you are still dehydrated, see a doctor right away.
