Questions from Lake Worth patients.
How do I know if I need IV fluids vs. just drinking water?
If you can't keep fluids down, have little or no urination, or feel dizzy or confused, IV fluids work faster and more reliably than drinking on your own. When symptoms are more than mild, it's worth being evaluated.
Can dehydration be dangerous?
Yes, especially for infants, young children and seniors. Severe dehydration can affect blood pressure, kidney function and mental status if not treated.
How long does IV rehydration take?
Many patients start feeling better within an hour of starting IV fluids, though the exact time depends on the severity of dehydration and the underlying cause.
Can kids get IV fluids too?
Yes. We treat dehydration in patients of all ages, with fluid amounts and monitoring adjusted appropriately for children.

We treat heat-related dehydration with IV fluids and cooling measures as needed, and will evaluate for heatstroke if symptoms are severe.
