Boy, 10, rushed to hospital with water poisoning after drinking 6 bottles in an hour

A 10-year-old boy was rushed to hospital with water intoxication after drinking six bottles in just one hour.

Ray Jordan was rushed to Prisma Health Children's Hospital in Columbia, South Carolina, after suffering from water intoxication. The boy had been playing outside with his cousins during the hot weather and drank six bottles of water within an hour.

Symptoms of water intoxication began to appear, including vomiting and loss of motor function. Doctors who examined him at the hospital discovered extremely low sodium levels in his blood, a condition that occurs when the kidneys can't handle excessive water intake.
