Fluid replacement
If there is no nausea and vomiting,
fluid replacement is begun. You are
asked to drink
electrolyte/carbohydrate-containing
fluids along with water.
If there are signs of significant
dehydration (elevated resting heart
rate, low blood pressure), fluids are
generally given through an IV, a tube
placed into a vein.
Disposition
If your condition improves, you may
be sent home, preferably in the care
of friends or family who can help
monitor your condition.
If you remain dehydrated, confused,
feverish, have persistently abnormal
vital signs, or signs of infection, you
may need to stay in the hospital for
additional treatment.
Medications
If fever is a cause of
dehydration, the use
of acetaminophen (for
example, Tylenol) or ibuprofen (for
example, Advil) may be used. This can
be given by mouth if you are not
vomiting or as a rectal suppository if
you cannot take anything by mouth.
