Treat Sunburns With IV Therapy
Dehydration caused by severe sunburn can be serious. Symptoms include headaches, lightheadedness, fever, nausea or just a feeling of being run down. Although drinking plenty of water helps, receiving IV fluids for sunburn from Mobile IV Nurses bypasses the digestive system, replenishes the body and restores balance faster.
What Is Sunburn?
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports that 1 in 3 Americans admit to getting sunburned each summer. What may start as an exhilarating day outdoors can end in severe discomfort and conditions like dehydration, nausea, and dizziness.
Sunburn occurs when your skin displays a visible reaction to UV radiation from the sun or even tanning beds. The danger of sunburn is that one often doesn't feel it while it is happening, and it can take several hours to appear and days or weeks to resolve. Sunburn can occur anytime unprotected skin is exposed to the sun for too long, even after daily activities such as gardening or walking the dog. Sunburned skin becomes red, painful, and sensitive and, depending on the severity of the burn, can affect multiple layers of skin.
Symptoms of Sunburn
Everyone experiences sunburns differently depending on their own health factors and skin type. Common symptoms include:
- Redness and swelling of the skin in the areas where it was exposed
- Fever and chills
- Weakness, faintness or confusion
- Dehydration that can lead to shock in severe cases
When skin is sunburned, the fluid in one's body gets directed to the damaged area. While a lot of focus is placed on soothing the visibly red and blistered skin, rehydrate IV therapy from Mobile IV Nurses hydrates the body internally to prevent serious complications that can result from dehydration.
