Summer Health Hazards

5. Dehydration

Prevention: Make sure your children drink enough fluids to replace what they’ve lost. If you’re going to be out and about in the hot weather, carry extra water with you.

Treatment: Signs of dehydration include reduced urination, increased thirst, dry mouth and tongue, headaches, increased tiredness or irritability. Get your kids to drink cool water, sipping slowly. Severe dehydration may require hospitalization.
