Diarrhea and vomiting can cause your body to lose large amounts of
water, nutrients, and essential minerals called electrolytes. This
happens faster and is more serious in babies, young children, and
older adults.

Rehydration drinks, (such as Pedialyte, Lytren, or Rehydrate) and
sports drinks (such as Gatorade or Powerade) replace fluids and
electrolytes. Plain water doesn't provide necessary nutrients or
electrolytes and may not be absorbed with diarrhea.

Note:

Rehydration drinks, such as Pedialyte, are designed for children.
Adult rehydration drinks and sports drinks should not be used for
babies and young children.

Rehydration drinks don't make diarrhea or vomiting go away faster,
but they can prevent serious dehydration from developing.

You can make an inexpensive rehydration drink at home. However, do
not give this homemade drink to children younger than 12.

Measure all ingredients precisely. Small variations can make the
drink less effective or even harmful.
