HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern first is to confirm the dehydration, if this is really dehydration then this can be managed with the oral rehydration therapy, if no dehydration then no need to give any rehydration solution this could cause over hydration, looking to the age of patient it is advisable to get it confirm the clinical condition by pediatrician, hope this information helps you, have good day.
I find this answer helpful
