Dehydration
Dehydration is the absence of enough water in the body. This is because the body disposes of water faster than it can take in, which is quite problematic since the body needs a lot of water to function correctly. Dehydration results from bodily reactions to inflammation and infection, leading to complications if left untreated.
Dehydration can happen to adults and children, and they must be aware of such a condition’s symptoms and possible complications. Among the symptoms of dehydration are being thirsty and feeling lightheaded or nauseous. Patients can also manifest strong-smelling urine and not be able to pee frequently. They can also have dry lips and mouths, and their eyes may seemingly lose luster. Those who manifest these symptoms must rehydrate with water and electrolytes-rich drinks to quickly replace the lost nutrients and water. They can also use oral rehydration sachets to hydrate faster. It’s wise to remember that whenever a person finishes with a bout in the toilet due to diarrhea, they should try to replace the liquids and nourishment fast.
