Dr. Pan Yongyuan
Electrolyte imbalance with hypokalemia should be promptly treated with potassium supplementation under a doctor's guidance. Potassium can be supplemented orally with medications, or by consuming more daily foods rich in potassium ions. The specific approach should be determined according to the severity of the patient's condition. Additionally, maintaining a positive mental state and avoiding stress and anxiety in daily life can help improve the condition.
