Question
What Are the Symptoms of Dehydration?
Answer
Dehydration refers to a reduction in the body’s fluid volume or an imbalance in the distribution of fluids in various parts of the body, leading to a decrease in effective circulation. Clinically, various systemic symptoms may occur, such as poor skin elasticity, sunken eye sockets, nausea, vomiting, decreased urine output, fatigue, dizziness, and even coma. It usually requires correction of blood volume and electrolytes. It is recommended that you do not self-medicate at small clinics; instead, go to a regular hospital for blood and biochemical tests to confirm the diagnosis before treatment.
