5. Dehydration
As mentioned, both vomiting and diarrhea can result in other rather unwelcome complications. One of these is dehydration. Quite simply, this is because fluids are being ejected from the body before they can be absorbed. Both vomiting and diarrhea can also lead to malnutrition in some cases.
Symptoms of dehydration include a dry mouth, low energy levels, and urine that is darker in color than usual. The solution to dehydration is simply to take on more water, but that is not easy in patients that have symptoms like excessive vomiting and diarrhea. It may be necessary for the patient to be put on an intravenous drip in some cases.
