I'm really worried about my father. He's got an electrolyte issue, and his sodium level is at 131, potassium is 4.4, and chloride is at 93. Are these levels something to be concerned about? What steps can we take to address this imbalance?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Your father's electrolyte levels show a slight imbalance. To correct this, I recommend using a medication called "Oral Rehydration Solution" with a dosage of 200-400 ml every 1-2 hours until the electrolyte levels stabilize. This solution will help replenish the sodium, potassium, and chloride levels in his body.
