pages 15-16 (19-20 in PDF):

" . . . Their most serious problem is convulsions, which usually occur when the serum sodium concentration exceeds 165 mmol/l, and especially when IV therapy is given. . . "

4.5.2 Hyponatraemia

page 16 (20 in PDF):

"Children with diarrhoea who drink mostly water, or watery drinks that contain little salt, may develop hyponatraemia (serum Na <130 mmol/l). Hyponatraemia is especially common in children with shigellosis and in severely malnourished children with oedema. Severe hyponatraemia can be associated with lethargy and, less often, seizures. . .

Weak tea

Weak tea is vague. Better info needs sourced. One teabag per 2 cups of water, or 4 cups (1 liter) or 8 cups (2 liter)... this source says 8 teabags is common daily intake https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nbu.12150 2600:1700:CDA0:1060:EDB1:E3B5:31D9:3D34
