Dehydration treatment in Magdalena Contreras

Dehydration occurs when the body loses more fluids than it takes in, so it does not have the water needed to function normally. It can affect people of any age and is especially serious in young children and older adults.

Common symptoms:

• Intense thirst and dry mouth
• Decreased urine output and darker urine
• Fatigue, dizziness, or weakness
• In more serious cases, confusion or fainting

Common causes: vomiting, diarrhea, fever, heavy sweating, or low fluid intake.

When to seek care? The pediatrician, general practitioner, or internist evaluates this condition; if the signs are intense or affect a child or an older person, it is worth seeking prompt care so a professional can assess the situation.
