Signs of dehydration include thirst, dark-colored urine, dry mouth, decreased urination, and dry skin. Thirst is an early indicator, with urine becoming darker as dehydration progresses. A reduction in urinary frequency, such as urinating less than three or four times a day, also suggests dehydration [3][6][5].

Additionally, severe dehydration may lead to symptoms like dizziness, confusion, rapid heartbeat, and, in extreme cases, fainting or low blood pressure [5][4][6]. In children, fewer wet diapers and a sunken soft spot on a baby’s head can indicate dehydration [6][3]. Recognizing these signs early is crucial for effective treatment.
