A member asked:
My 4yr old has been vomiting w/diarrhea for 1 week+ we r seeing the dr in the am. what does severe dehydration look like? can i wait until morning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Behavior?: If he is acting normal, playing, etc., then can likely wait until am. If he just lays around, is listless, no energy, then no. If you gently pinch the skin on the back of his hand and lift it up/away from his hand, if it stays up there, like a little "tent, " then no. If in doubt, go to er. We would rather see ; send home than wish you were earlier.
