Dehydration

Dehydration:-

the loss or removal of water from something.

Dehydration occurs when you use or lose more fluid than you take in, and your body doesn't have enough water and other fluids to carry out its normal functions. If you don't replace lost fluids, you will get dehydrated. ... The most common cause of dehydration in young children is severe diarrhea and vomiting.

SYMPTOMS

Early symptoms of dehydration include dry mouth, lethargy, and dizziness.

TREATMENT

Drink a rehydration drink, water, juice, or sports drink to replace fluids and minerals. Drink 2 qt (2 L) of cool liquids over the next 2 to 4 hours. You should drink at least 10 glasses of liquid a day to replace lost fluids. You can make an inexpensive rehydration drink at home.
