 Nurse : Dehydration happens when your body doesn’t
have as much water as it needs. Without
enough, your body can’t function properly.
You can have mild, moderate, or severe
dehydration depending on how much fluid is
missing from your body. It’s normal to lose
water from your body everyday by sweating,
breathing, peeing, and pooping, and through
tears and saliva. You can lose more water
than usual with a fever, diarrhea, vomiting,
excessive sweating, and peeing a lot. Signs of
dehydration include are thirst, dry or sticky
mouth, not peeing very much, dark yellow
pee, headache, muscle cramps, rapid
heartbeat, rapid breathing, sunken eyes, and
fainting.
The best care for a mild case, it should be
enough just to drink plenty of fluids. Water is
your first choice, but there are lots of special
drinks on the market that will help you replace
your body’s lost water and electrolytes.
If you dehydration is serious, you may need to
see a doctor to get treated with intravenous
(IV) fluids. Severe dehydration may require
you to go to the hospital.
