- Dehydration happens when your body uses or loses more fluid than it takes in, and your body lacks the water and other fluids it needs to operate normally. You'll become dehydrated if you don't restore lost fluids.
- Dehydration may affect anybody, but small children and the elderly are more vulnerable.
- Severe diarrhoea and vomiting are the most prevalent causes of dehydration in children.
- Dehydration is more common among older persons, who have a decreased water content in their bodies and may be suffering from diseases or using drugs that make them more susceptible to it.
- This implies that even small ailments in elderly people, such as infections of the lungs or bladder, can cause dehydration.
- If you don't drink enough water during hot weather, especially if you're moving strenuously, you might dehydrate.
- Mild to moderate dehydration may typically be reversed by drinking extra fluids, but severe dehydration requires medical attention right away.
