Get investigations done first.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your response.
As I have mentioned earlier, increase or decrease in the normal values can cause certain disease or symptoms in the body. I would suggest that you should get Serum Electrolytes done and if the treating doctor thinks necessary to add Paedialyte or any such oral or injectable remedy, then only it should be taken.
