| 1)In which season are you more susceptible to dehydration? |
|---|
Dehydration is a lack of body fluids or is caused by excessive sweating and lack of nutritional intake for the body. Or dehydration is also caused by disease factors such as hot weather, heavy or excessive activity, insufficient body fluids or caused by side effects of medication.
Usually dehydration is prone to occur during the summer. When the air temperature is hot, your body experiences a lack of fluids due to excessive sweating, especially when we are outside.
So during the summer, many of you don't realize that we lack a lot of water because hot temperatures can cause us to become dehydrated, so it is recommended that you drink 10 to 12 glasses of water a day. If you feel thirsty or need fluids for your body, you should drink it immediately.
| 2)What are the symptoms of dehydration that appear in a person and tell me the main steps to overcome dehydration? |
|---|
The initial symptoms of dehydration that appear in our body start with us continuing to feel thirsty, our body is prone to feeling tired/fatigued or we feel like we lack energy and we also experience dizziness accompanied by reduced or infrequent urination frequency, which can be dangerous for the body and the most what appears is that your mouth feels dry and also your eyes and your urine smells and is dark in color.
The first swift step that we must take is to drink lots of water to replace lost body fluids, consume lots of fruits that contain lots of water such as watermelon, melon and cucumber and the like. And also look for a cool place to rest and wear clothes that are comfortable and made of thin material to allow air circulation.
If your dehydration is severe, you are advised to immediately go to hospital for treatment to restore lost body fluids intravenously (infusion). Because if it is not addressed as quickly as possible, danger will lurk in our bodies with serious impacts.
| 3)With what severity may dehydration in patients appear? (Share the real view) |
|---|
In adults, dehydration is usually mild to moderate due to diarrhea or vomiting
And fever can be overcome by consuming water and ORS fluids given by the doctor.
And with the severity experienced by adults, such as feeling very thirsty, the heart pumping quickly, experiencing a decrease in blood pressure and shortness of breath or becoming more rapid, these must be quickly addressed and treated in hospital by medical experts so as not to worsen the situation and experience disease complications. other.
And in children with mild dehydration it is usually characterized by the baby being fussy, looking very thirsty, urinating infrequently, even up to 6 hours or more, often sleepy and the body condition is very weak, the urine is dark colored and the breathing is fast and irregular.
The condition of our child or baby must be treated quickly. We must provide adequate fluids and nutritional intake for him and if he has not recovered or is more serious, it is recommended that he be taken to a health facility for further treatment so as not to harm the body and usually with the severity of dehydration in the baby. complications can occur and endanger the child's life.
In a case like this, I was shocked yesterday this dehydration incident happened to my baby, he had diarrhea for several days, I felt very sad because he almost didn't drink or eat at all, in fact he had diarrhea almost 7 times a day and the doctor said that's very dangerous. And at that time the doctor at my place recommended that I be hospitalized to be given fluids intravenously and treated seriously.
After two days of being treated in hospital, finally my baby was a little healthier and happier and more enthusiastic, now he urinates more often and asks to drink.
Dehydration can happen to us adults and also to children, so we have to be aware of it and act more quickly so that it is treated quickly and does not cause a level of severity that can cause complications and even threaten our lives.
That's what I can say, hopefully it's useful for all of us🙏.
