3. Other Symptoms
In adults, muscle pain and irritability are common secondary symptoms. When the body loses too much fluid, there are not enough electrolytes like calcium, potassium and sodium for muscles to function properly. This situation can cause pain, cramping, and an overall feeling of malaise that results in irritability.
Young children may have symptoms that include leaking diapers, constipation and sleep disturbances. In children, symptoms that are caused by chronic dehydration are vomiting, fever and weight loss or developmental delays. Infants with an inherited form of the condition show symptoms immediately after birth.
