Are you new to Chennai Moms?

water with salt and sugar as make shift. or oral rehydration mix from WHO which also includes minerals to be mixed with water. available at all chemists. lately they also give ready made packs i guess its called 'ORS" or something similar.

if there is throwing up, give domstal before food.

if severe dehydration in small children please see the doctor as drip may be required. children dehydrate very quickly. u can see as skin looks shrivelled, area around eyes is sunken in and look dark, with boys testicles look shrunk, the kid is apathetic and appears only semi conscious.

all the best!

The tried and tested method is drinking water mixed with salt and sugar in equal proprotions.  Do not drink colas or aerated drinks. You could also avoid taking spicy food and only stick to easily diestable food during dehydration.  sipping Lime juice also helps reduce dehydration in  a way. sipping water frequently during dehydration is a good way.  These are all in case of only mild dehydration.  In case of severe dehydration is always best to consult a doctor.

try home made lemonade: water+black salt+sugar+roasted cumin powder+lemon juice..it is a quick and sure shot way of rehydrating the body..u can give it to adults and kids both.

also try barley water..it is excellent source of nutrition and hydration during summers.

Morgy and Akashganga have already given their answers which i also think is the best homeremedy for dehydration.

thanks for the suggestions friends...
