Dehydration
1. Replace Fluids
For mild dehydration or while waiting for medical care for an adult with severe
dehydration that is not due to heat stroke:
The person should try to drink 2 quarts of fluid, such as water, juice, or
sports drinks, in 2 to 4 hours.
The person should drink at least 10 glasses of liquid a day to replace lost
fluids.
If the person is elderly, fluid replacement may need to be done slowly. Consult
a doctor.
If the person is vomiting, try ice chips, popsicles, and small sips of fluid.

The person’s symptoms get worse or don't improve within 24 hours.

For mild dehydration, the person should rest for 24 hours and keep drinking
fluids, even if symptoms improve. Fluid replacement may take up to a day and a
half.
If dehydration is moderate to severe, fluids may need to be replaced
