The goal of this clinical trial is to study the impact of sodium supplementation on hospital outcomes of children with pneumonia.
It aims to answer:
Researchers will compare the intervention arm to the control arm to see if the intervention lowers the length of hospital stay.
Participants will:
• Take one sachet of oral rehydration solution (ORS) every day for 3 days.
The study is a randomized clinical trial that will be conducted on hospitalized children with pneumonia after considering exclusion criteria.
The enrolled children will be randomly divided into two groups: the intervention group and the control group. The intervention group will receive the ORS daily for 3 days.
All children will be followed until discharge from the hospital, and their clinical outcomes will be assessed.
