Recipe for Homemade Pedialyte
My doctor gave me this recipe years ago to use for replenishing fluids in a child who is suffering from fever and vomiting/diarrhea.
Homemade Pedialyte
- 1 quart sterile water
- 1TBSP sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- can flavor with kool-aid granules
Keep refrigerated and use within a couple of days.
Personally, I forego the pedialyte if I can keep my children drinking water or juice or flat Sprite frequently on the hour. But sometimes you just need an ace in the hole, and this is a good recipe for freezing into popsicles for your patient, or just for drinking (with a straw for a treat!).
May you never need it!

My parents always gave me flat ginger ale too!
