Hi...., you have developed dehydration... Dehydration happens when more fluid is lost by the body than is replaced by drinking liquids. The risk of dehydration increases in hot weather and because of severe vomiting or diarrhoea....Drink plenty of water to help to replenish the total body water....Consider oral rehydration salts for electrolyte imbalance.... If the diarrhea is caused by bacteria then you need to take antibiotics... Consult Physician.....
