Every day, we lose body fluids (water and other fluids) in urine, stool, sweat, and tears. We replace lost fluids by eating and drinking. Dehydration occurs when more fluid leaves the body than enters it. This can happen when a child does not drink enough fluids or when the body is sick and loses fluids through vomiting, diarrhea, and fever. Dehydration can happen slowly or quickly, depending on how the fluid is lost and the age of the child. Young children and infants are more susceptible to dehydration. In this article, we will provide useful information to help caregivers promptly recognize the symptoms of dehydration in children that need to be recognized early.

75% of the human body is water. Dehydration in infants is a condition in which the baby does not get enough water to maintain body functions. Every day, the amount of water in the baby's body gradually decreases through urination, sweating, crying and even breathing. Each time the baby is breastfed, the baby will be compensated for the amount of water lost. However, if the baby does not get enough water that the body needs, it can lead to dehydration. This can make the baby uncomfortable and irritable.

Fever is a very common condition in young children. When their child has a fever, many parents often think of using fever-reducing medicine to reduce the fever.
