I am severly dehydrated. Please help?!


Question:

I am severly dehydrated. Please help?

I have been feeling very ill since Monday. I visited the doctor on Tuesday and he checked out my ears, throat, heart etc for symptoms of the flu and he said I appeared OK.

I am extremly dizzy, I have to remain laying down. I get hot and cold flashes where I start sweating and feel very dizzy like I am going to throw up and must lay down. I usually drink 1 liter of water a day and have NOT been consuming water the past 5 or so days so I am guessing I am very dehydrated.

I have to go to work tommorrow and work this whole weekend. I need to get better tonight! I know I need to OD on water but what else would help?? Please help me I am so miserable :(


Answers:

Begin immediate ingestion of water and other clear fluids. Go slowly to avoid getting sick. Rinsing your mouth with warm salt water will increase the retention of the fluids in you body.
