What to do with dehydration (脱水)? If you can, try not to get dehydrated in the fast place. If you're going outside, it's a good idea to drink water before, during and after you play, especially if it is hot. Dehydration can happen along with heat-related illness, such as heat exhaustion. In addition to drinking water, it's smart to dress in cool clothes, and take breaks indoors or at least in the shade.
If you're sick, keep taking small sips of drinks like water or juice, even if you're not that thirsty or hungry. Eating an icepop (冰棒 ) is a great way. Other foods, such as fruits and vegetables, contain water, too. But if your stomach is not feeling well, you might not be ready for them.
The best drink is water, but milk is another great drink for kids. Juice is OK, but choose it less often than water and milk Sports drinks are fine once in a while, but water should be considered as champion of the drinks. Limit soda and other sugary drinks, which contain a lot of sugar. Some of them also contain caffeine, which can cause you to urinate (小便) more often than normal. In other, it tells your body to get rid of fluids.
Some cases of dehydration can be handled at home, but sometimes, that isn't enough. A kid may need to go to the doctor if he or she has a heat-related illness that just won't quit. At the hospital, if necessary, you'll get a fluid infusion(补液)It will help you feel much better and recover faster.

Da Vinci was born on IS April, 1452 near the Tuscan town of Vanci , the son of a local lawyer.
