Ionica solution was administrated to all children.

Results. In all examined children in addition to the mild to moderate viral diarrhea occurred such concomitant diseases as: malnutrition, rickets, anemia, perinatal lesion of the central nervous system, symptoms of intestinal dysbiosis of II and III degree.
