Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Lei
For elderly individuals with hyponatremia, it is important to first increase salt intake. They can appropriately add salt to rice and vegetables, or use salt capsules to supplement sodium ions. Salt capsules are made by filling empty capsules with a suitable amount of salt, which are then taken orally to enhance sodium absorption. This helps improve the condition of low sodium levels. In daily life, they should also consume more protein-rich foods such as fish, shrimp, soybeans, milk, and beef.
