Hello viewers, I am Dr Vishwas, I am speaking on behalf of a nice platform that we have today by the name Lybrate and this is just to share and give some ideas about your medical and health-related issues. Friends now the year is ending and we are looking forward to having lot of gatherings and get together in the near future may be on the Christmas eve or on the year-end and we will definitely hang out somewhere, will have nice dinner party and enjoyment. I would like to just give you some tips about to major things that you may across one is a problem of dehydration. Now a dehydration is a status where because of either repeated vomiting or because of loose motions your certain fluid amount gets lost, just you will have to remember one thing that our topper fluid volume in our body is 5 to 5.5 litre. And now if there is a suspension loss maybe of 1.5to 2 litres in a short span of time we in the status called the dehydration, now this dehydration is very risky to our kidney and this kidney may show signs renal shutdown or kidney failure if this dehydration is not corrected in time. So the first and the foremost thing that we need to do is to replace it without any delay and while replacement almost everybody knows that plane fluid or lemon water juice or electrol has to be given slowly and as much as possible, so the patient may not have test of mouth, aliking, a thirst but this is mandatory or you may have to consult a doctor or hospital to start some IVY fluid or intravenous fluid what we properly cause call as. Dehydration has to be tackled upfront because this is a major cause of death in children small children, elderly just because of lack of attention and lack of knowledge that we have regarding this. So if you hang out do parties and somebody is suffering from gastroenteritis or vomiting or any sort of such kind of ailness and if you see your friend or a family member is suffering from dehydration it is my request to you to give as much fluid as quickly as possible to replace the fluid loss and to make sure that he or she doesn't land into dehydration, especially the children are to be specially attended and to be taken care of. You may have to consult a paediatrician or run to the hospital and don't be late, this is the best interest of your health. Any high fever any burn injury any kind of a disease which may cause high fever and in a short time like typhoid or a viral fever or swine flu kind of fever that can also call severity hydration. So you have to cover the dehydration complication first, and then treat the primary cause of the disease.
