What are the Severe Dehydration Symptoms

What is Dehydration?

Lack of hydration or Dehydration happens when your body doesn’t have as much water as it needs. Without enough, your body can’t work appropriately. You can have mellow, moderate, or serious parchedness relying upon how much liquid is absent from your body.

Cause

It’s not unexpected to lose water from your body each day by perspiring, breathing, peeing, and crapping, and through tears and salivation (spit). Normally you supplant the lost fluid by drinking liquids and eating nourishments that contain water. On the off chance that you lose a lot of water or don’t drink and eat enough, you can get got dried out.

You can lose more water than usual with:

A fever
Diarrhea
Vomiting
Excessive sweating
Peeing a lot (Diabetes and some medications like water pills — also called diuretics — can make you pee more often.)

You may not replace the water you lose because:

You’re busy and forget to drink enough.
You don’t realize you’re thirsty.
You don’t feel like drinking because you have a sore throat or mouth sores, or you’re sick to your stomach.
