Will dehydration hurt a person in a day or two?

I would like to know will dehydration endanger a person`s life within 24 to 48-hours?

Answer #1

Is it dehydration or are u just abstaining from water? Dehydration in some cases like cholera can kill you in less than 24hrs… You can stay upto 1 week without water…

Answer #2

Yes, it will affect it. Your body can only go a maximum of 72 hours without water, but that is with other sources of adequate nutrition. Most likely, if someone is dehydrated for 24 or more hours, they will get sick and vomit. This is dangerous because there is nothing for them to vomit, so they start vomiting things they shouldn’t, such as excess stomach acid and sometimes blood. It is unlikely that being dehydrated for that long will kill someone; however, it could seriously affect their health problems, which could result in death if not treated quickly and properly. Hope this helped!
