Water and your health conditions
Your body loses fluids when you vomit, have a fever or have diarrhea. Water, broth or drinks with minerals, called rehydration solutions, may help replace fluids. Your healthcare professional may suggest other ways to increase fluids. (standard language) Some conditions, such as bladder or urinary infections and kidney and urinary tract stones, may increase the need for more fluids.
