Dehydrated by Diarrhoea can kill!!
-
Dunno what happen..I had terrible diarrhoea on Tuesday morning.
Got a day MC to rest.
Condition did not improve and became worst...I could not sleep at all as every 10 to 15 mins I gotta go toilet. I soiled also all my shorts due to lost of control.
By 2 am the next day, I knew I am dehydrated. I feel my life drying up. The worst feeling next to death, I think.
Went to Tan Tock Seng Hospital. The docs saw me and swing into action.
I was given hydration treatment and a jab, and was admitted to observation ward.
Thats jab really did wonders...And I went into a 2 hrs of good sleep at the observation ward, despite all the dins and noise of A&E emergency works going on...The 3 sodium chloride hydration packs did wonders too.
Then discharged at 7 am...suprisingly...got more MC.
The moral of the story is...drink tons of water..even if you vomit it out...just drink. -
a bit of salt and some sugar in water helps you rehydrate better than water..
dehydration from diarrhoea kills a lot of children in the developing world... -
drink glucose oso can rite
-
as long as liquid is absorbed by the body...
the bit of salt is there to replace sodium..
the rehydration salts are better as in that they have more of the stuff your body loses in the diarrhoea..
you can also use isotonics like 100plus and gatoradeOriginally posted by BabyLover:drink glucose oso can rite -
