Sign Of Dehydration In Kids #6: Dry Mouth
Inside our mouths are tiny glands that release a liquid that we know as saliva. This liquid plays an important part of the digestion process as it helps us to soften our food before swallowing. It also helps to keep bacteria in the mouth to a minimum.
Some conditions, however, can cause our mouths to become dry. This can be uncomfortable and it can also lead to complications, including dry, cracked lips. There are various reasons why this can occur, and dehydration is one of them. If you do find that your child has dry lips then you should make sure they get fluids straightaway.
