What are some symptoms of dehydration?

Answer 1

feeling weak, dizzy, blurry vision can sometimes be a symptom..but the best way to tell is to take your thumb and press it into their arm...not really hard but add some pressure and see how long it takes for that spot to look normal again..if it doesn't do it almost instantly..then you're dehydrated...the longer it takes to look normal the more dehydrated you are..

Answer 2

Among the signs and symptoms that your Pediatrician will look at to determine if your child is dehydrated include:

the amount of weight loss, which usually correlates to how dehydrated a child is (so 5 percent weight loss likely means that they are 5 percent dehydrated)
how often and how much they are urinating (children with diabetes may continue to urinate frequently, even when they are severely dehydrated, so this isn't always a reliable sign)
the presence of tears, a moist mouth and tongue, and whether or not their eyes are sunken
their capillary refill (briefly press on your child's nail bed so that it blanches or turns white, and see how long it takes to return to normal)
skin fold recall or skin turgor test (gently pinch your child's skin on their abdomen, hold it for a few seconds and then let it go to see how long it takes to return to the normal position)


Signs and symptoms
Mild to moderate dehydration is likely to cause:

Dry, sticky mouth
Sleepiness or tiredness — children are likely to be less active than usual
Thirst
Decreased urine output — fewer than six wet diapers a day for infants and eight hours or more without urination for older children and teens
Few or no tears when crying
Muscle weakness
Headache
Dizziness or lightheadedness

Answer 3

Thirst is the first symptom followed by irritability and headache. If you start feeling week, nauseous, sunken eyes, and stomach cramps, you should go to the doctor.
Dehydration can be treated by drinking pedialite (sports drinks have too much sugar). If it is severe dehydration, you will need an IV from the hospital.
