Dehydration is loss of water from the body, often caused by vomiting and/or diarrhea.

Dehydration occurs when there is significant loss of body water and, to varying amounts, electrolytes. Symptoms include thirst, under activity, dry lips/mouth, and decreased urination. Severe dehydration can be life-threatening. Treatment is with fluid and electrolytes given by mouth or, in serious cases, by vein (intravenously). Dehydration occurs when the body loses more water than it takes in. Substances called electrolytes are lost also. Electrolytes are minerals in the bloodstream and within cells that are essential to life. Sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate are examples of electrolytes.

Causes

Dehydration is usually caused by  excessive fluid loss, such as from vomiting and/or diarrhea

A less common cause of dehydration is  not drinking enough fluid, such as during common childhood illnesses, or when a newborn has trouble breastfeeding. However, not every episode of vomiting, diarrhea, or both causes dehydration.

Symptoms

• Dehydrated infants need medical care right away if

• The soft spot on their head is sunken.

• Their eyes are sunken.

• They have no tears when they cry.

• Their mouth is dry.

• They are not producing much urine.

• They have reduced alertness and are under active (lethargic).

Mild dehydration typically causes a dry mouth and lips, increased thirst, and may urinate less frequently.

Moderate dehydration causes children to be less interactive or playful, have a dry mouth, and urinate less frequently. Moderate and severe dehydration can cause a rapid heartbeat and lightheadedness.

Severely dehydration causes children to become sleepy or lethargic, which is a sign they must be evaluated by a doctor or taken to the emergency department right away. They have no tears. They may develop a bluish discoloration to the skin (cyanosis) and breathe rapidly. Sometimes dehydration causes the concentration of salt in the blood to fall or rise abnormally. Changes in salt concentration make the symptoms of dehydration worse and can worsen lethargy. In severe cases, the child can have seizures or coma or suffer brain damage and die.
