Depends on symptoms: If u are feeling okay, u can rehydrate yourself with fluids. The best indicator of hydration is ur urine output. If u are up to swallowing, begin drinking. It can be ginger ale or a sports drink like gatorade. If u cannot drink fluids then, yes, go to an emergency room. If u have little or no urine output, even after u are drinking liquids, again, yes, go to the er. See a doctor with worries.
