i have no way of estimating her current level of hydration: --does she have tears? --is the inside of her mouth moist? --is her skin elastic? (pinch a bit of the skin on the back of her hand or tummy pull it up and see if it snaps back). --is she urinating? obviously she needs to drink. and often. did you try popsicles? ice chips? try the little juice box straws. "pay her" in some way for each cup of fluid that she drinks. to make it more interesting pay the 3-year-old too!
the 4-year-old won't take medicine since we got home from surgery and drank a cup of water. should i take her to the er? . my 3- and 4-year-olds both had their tonsils and adenoids removed yesterday.
