The key for preventing hydration in a sick child is tackling it early. By creating a product that promotes hydration while a child is sick, not after, the negative effects wont set in. Because they’re treating children, they need to be a treat. A staple purchase when caring for a sick child. Electrolyte juice filled ice chips can be snacked on in between medicine intake. They could be produced in fun flavors, colors, and shapes to act as a secondary entertainment for the child, something listed as a necessity in almost every secondary resource about treating sick children. They could be sold as mini popsicles so they could be administered more often and soothe the throat while rehydrating.
Problems:
-Does not measure hydration
-Have to go buy new ones every time a child is sick
-Do they really make that much of a difference?
-Electrolyte drinks are proven to not help that much more than water
