Treatment depends on whether the child has hypokalemia or hyperkalemia:
Hypokalemia: Treatment involves increasing potassium intake through diet or supplements. In severe cases, intravenous potassium may be administered under close medical supervision. Hyperkalemia: Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause, such as adjusting medications or improving kidney function. Dietary potassium may be restricted, and medications or treatments to lower potassium levels might be necessary.
