Intravenous Rehydration
Drinking might be difficult for those people with dehydration caused by vomiting or diarrhea. In these cases, your doctor might suggest intravenous rehydration. This is the quickest option to replace your lost fluids. During this process, a small IV tube will be inserted into a vein of your arm to provide rehydration solution intravenously. This is often a mix of electrolytes and water. Compared to drinking, intravenous rehydration allows your body to absorb fluids quickly and more efficiently. As a result, you can also recover fast. This method can be done at home or in the hospital. [2]
