Since your blood sugar is normal and Electral hasn't helped, we should look at other ways your body regulates water. Sometimes, conditions like diabetes insipidus (which is unrelated to blood sugar) or certain kidney and electrolyte imbalances can cause these exact symptoms. I highly recommend consulting an endocrinologist or a general physician next. They can run specific tests, such as checking your urine concentration and hormone levels, to find the root cause.

Since she is 73, severe diarrhea can quickly lead to dehydration. You have already given her Electral (oral rehydration salts), Avomine (promethazine), and Metrogyl (metronidazole). Please stop giving any further medications without medical advice. Keep offering her Electral water in small, frequent sips to maintain her hydration, and keep her diet very light, avoiding dairy or oily food. Because persisting diarrhea at her age needs careful monitoring, please consult a healthcare professional today for a proper evaluation and safe treatment plan.

Electral is an oral rehydration salt (ORS) formula designed to quickly restore essential water and electrolytes lost during dehydration, diarrhea, or sweating. It is not a treatment for high or low blood pressure. Because Electral contains sodium, which can affect blood pressure, it should be used with caution if you have high blood pressure. If your blood pressure is low specifically due to dehydration, it can help restore fluid balance, but it is not a direct remedy for blood pressure disorders. Please consult your doctor for personalized guidance regarding your blood pressure.

While these symptoms, starting with a fever, could potentially be linked to COVID-19 or another viral infection, your current extreme weakness, difficulty walking, and low body temperature of 95.3?F are signs of severe fatigue or dehydration that require prompt medical attention. While Electral powder helps with hydration, it may not be enough. Please do not panic, but I strongly advise you to consult a doctor or visit an urgent care clinic immediately for a proper evaluation and a COVID-19 test. Rest as much as possible, stay warm, and seek professional care right away to help you recover safely.

It is very common to feel weak while your body is fighting an infection. The medications you are taking, including Electral (oral rehydration salts) and Zinfate (zinc), are excellent for restoring your fluids and essential nutrients. To recover your strength, please prioritize plenty of rest and continue sipping Electral. Eat small, easily digestible meals like porridge, bananas, or soups alongside your apple juice. It is also crucial to complete your full course of infection tablets. This weakness should gradually improve as your body heals. However, if you experience severe dizziness or if the weakness worsens, please contact your doctor.

Your symptoms of severe dryness, frequent urination?especially after Electral?and mild shakes could stem from an electrolyte imbalance or an endocrine issue like thyroid dysfunction or diabetes. Tryptomer (amitriptyline) is sometimes prescribed for bladder sensitivity, but it has strong anticholinergic effects, meaning it can actually cause or worsen dryness and shakes, which explains why it did not help. I gently encourage you to consult a primary care doctor or endocrinologist for blood tests, including blood sugar and kidney function, to find the root cause.
