Fluid and electrolyte balance is top priority. Fluids can be absorbed rectally, so can be given—small amounts at a time—via enema, if IV is unavailable, or if you are avoiding hospitalization. Is there any way your daughter could get a blood draw to determine her actual sodium and potassium levels?
Apply magnesium lotion or gel topically to replenish this essential mineral; and for muscle pain, spasm, pins & needles. Mg++ is not well-absorbed when taken by mouth.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70175159 +1 on the fluids. My wife and I took a course with the Patriot Nurse and learned how hydrating someone via enema is as effective as an I.V. without the risk of damage or infection. She also said you can’t overhydrate this way, as the body won’t absorb more H2O than it needs. IIRC, she also said to use a saline solution if available. I guess that would help with the electrolytes.
