Identifying the Signs of Dehydration
Dehydration can become dangerous if left unaddressed, so it's important to understand how to recognize and treat the symptoms. It's particularly common during an illness, after strenuous physical activity and alcohol consumption. People with diabetes, infants and children are particularly susceptible to fluid depletion and its symptoms. But how do you know if you or a child in your care is dehydrated? There are some common signs of dehydration you should watch out for, including:
- Thirst: Craving water is one of your body's primary ways of signaling that it needs additional fluids.
- Dry mouth and skin: When your body is low on water, you might experience dryness in the mouth or skin as fluids are being used for more vital functions.
- Headaches: Depending on the situation and individual, dehydration can cause headaches and migraines of varying severity.
- Fatigue: Lack of water decreases your body's ability to function properly. If your body feels sluggish and unusually tired, water may help replenish your energy.
- Dark urine color: The color of your urine is a valuable gauge of health and hydration. With adequately hydration, urine should be lightly straw-colored or even colorless. If you notice a dark yellow hue or amber tint, it may be a sign of dehydration.
- Lightheadedness: Other symptoms of dehydration include dizziness, lightheadedness, unsteadiness and vertigo.
How to Alleviate Dehydration Symptoms
If you notice any signs of dehydration, drink water or fluids with electrolytes as soon as possible and eat hydrating foods. While oral rehydration is important, an IV for dehydration can more efficiently restore bodily fluids and balance.
An IV can be particularly effective when symptoms like vomiting or diarrhea make drinking and retaining water difficult. IV fluids usually include saline solution and sometimes have a combination of vitamins and minerals added to address a patient's specific needs and goals.

Tips on How to Stay Hydrated
If you want to feel your best, you may have to find ways to drink more water and get more fluids. Here are some tips for staying hydrated:
- Begin and end your day with a glass of water: Add drinking a full glass of water to your morning and evening routines to increase hydration. If you get into the habit of drinking first thing when you wake up and right before bed, you can increase your daily fluid intake and support your body.
- Take water with you wherever you go: Treat yourself to a nice reusable bottle that's easy to carry and large enough to avoid constantly refilling. Keep it with you at work, on errands, at the gym and when out with friends.
- Eat foods with a high water content: Incorporate water-rich foods like soups, watermelon, celery, cucumber and tomatoes into your diet.
- Book a hydrating IV treatment with Lone Star IV Medics: Our team will come to your door to help you rehydrate and replenish your system with fluid, vitamins and nutrients.
