What Could Be The Reason For Having Low Potassium Levels?
Mydaughter was sick all last week with fever,nausea,sinus infection . We just learned that she is slightly anemic and has lowered potassium levels. The rest of the cbc was normal. Doc said to have her eat 2 bananas a day. Reasons for this lowered potassium? Could it be her illness and /or the antibiotic she was on ?
