Question:

Im dehydrated how do i get myself to eat so i dont have to go to the doctors and get an IV?


Answers:

Well when you are dehydrated you don't want to eat. You want to drink.

This happened to me this weekend. I'd say get some Gatorade which will help get your fluids back into you. When I had a very nasty stomach virus my doctor told me to get one of those LARGE bottles of Gatorade and to make sure it was all gone with in two days. I almost made myself sick drinking all that stuff but it worked.

Dehydration in Adults Treatment - Self-Care at Home

Try to get people who are dehydrated (even those who have been vomiting) to take in fluids in the following ways:

* Sip small amounts of water.

* Drink carbohydrate/electrolyte-conta... drinks. Good choices are sports drinks such as Gatorade or prepared replacement solutions (Pedialyte is one example).

* Suck on popsicles made from juices and sports drinks.

* Suck on ice chips.

* Sip through a straw (works well for someone who has had jaw surgery or mouth sores).
