My son is only supposed to have NCAH according to his genetic makeup and was even taken off treatment for a while because his doctor beleived he doesn’t need it at all. He is certainly not what you would consider a sever salt waster, and yet, at two years old, he is on .1mg florinoff and being supplemented with at least 1 and a half tablets sodium chloride daily in addition to the table food he is eating. I recently started giving him more sodium chloride because his sodium levels where on the very low end of normal.
My son is excited about the sodium chloride and would take it with anything, in his bottle, with juice, sprinkled on a spoonful of apple sauce and today he even chewed a tablet just like that. He called it "candy" and wouldn’t share it with anyone. Though, if I were to
give him regular table salt insteat I doubt he would take it.
It doesn’t matter with what you give the salt solution, just don’t stop it without your doctor’s approval, no matter how mild a salt waster your child is.
