Dehydration

Dehydration occurs when your body loses more fluids than it takes in, preventing it from performing its usual functions. Mild dehydration can usually be treated by increasing fluid intake, but severe dehydration can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. It’s important to note that vulnerable populations, such as the elderly, infants, and young children, as well as individuals with chronic illnesses, are at a higher risk of dehydration and its complications. If you or someone you know shows signs of severe dehydration, seek emergency medical care immediately.
