A member asked:
If i go to the hospital for severe dehydration from vomiting, what is the estimated length of time i would need iv fluids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It depends how dehydrated you are. You might get couple liters off IV fluids and anti nausea medications. They will keep you typically until you are hydrated enough and you are able to keep down something orally without vomiting.
