Dehydration is a harmful loss of body water and salts, often from diarrhoea, vomiting, fever or heat. It can become serious quickly in babies and older people. Symptoms: Thirst, dry mouth, dark or little urine, tiredness and dizziness. In babies: sunken eyes/fontanelle, no tears, and fewer wet nappies. Seek urgent care if the person cannot keep fluids down, has no urine, is very weak or drowsy, or is a young infant. generated by SI from cited sources · general information, not a diagnosis · consult a health professional
