Treatment depends on the underlying cause and severity. General strategies include:
Fluid Replacement: Administration of isotonic saline can correct dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. Electrolyte Management: Potassium and chloride supplementation may be necessary. Addressing Underlying Conditions: Treating the root cause, such as stopping diuretics or managing vomiting, is crucial. Acidifying Agents: In severe cases, medications like ammonium chloride may be used under close supervision.
