Sorry for getting back late,
Please feed him ors thrice a day sodium at this level is dangerous and
might cause seizures, increase salt intake and there is a drip called
hypertonic saline which is given slowly , but for that please visit a
nearby hospital for better consultation and treatment, repeat electrolytes
and creatinine
