These powders are useful for treating dehydration and mineral
imbalance after a severe bout of watery diarrhoea.
These preparations come in the form of powder sachets (some are fruit flavoured) to be
dissolved in water. Follow age-related instructions carefully and mix the powder with
boiled, cooled water. Manufacturers state these powders should be used only under medical
advice for babies under one year old.
It’s a good idea to take a couple of sachets with you if you’re travelling
abroad as babies and young children are very prone to picking up tummy bugs.
