Overview

Moderate to severe dehydration from illness, vomiting, diarrhoea, or heat exposure can be treated with intravenous (IV) fluid therapy at Reddy Urgent Care. IV hydration delivers fluids and electrolytes directly into the bloodstream for rapid rehydration. This is a clinically indicated service — not an elective wellness treatment.

Symptoms We Treat

  • Moderate to severe dehydration from illness
  • Persistent vomiting or diarrhoea preventing oral fluid intake
  • Dizziness, weakness, or confusion from dehydration
  • Dark urine with reduced urination
  • Heat-related dehydration
  • Dry mouth, dry skin, and rapid heartbeat

How We Treat It At Reddy Urgent Care

Walk-In — No Appointment Needed

Simply walk in during our operating hours. No referral or scheduled appointment is required to be seen by our medical team.

Same-Day Care

We evaluate, diagnose, and treat most conditions the same day you visit so you can get back to feeling your best as quickly as possible.

Care for All Ages

Our providers treat patients of all ages — from infants and children to adults and seniors — under one roof.

Most Insurance Accepted

We accept most major insurance plans, Medi-Cal, and Medicare. We verify your benefits before treatment and inform you of any costs upfront.

Types Of Moderate to Severe Dehydration We Treat

  • Dehydration from gastroenteritis

    Most common cause. IV fluids replace what is lost through vomiting and diarrhoea.

  • Heat-related dehydration

    From excessive heat exposure or exercise without adequate fluid intake.

  • Dehydration in elderly patients

    Elderly patients are at higher risk and may not notice early dehydration symptoms.

  • Dehydration in children

    Children dehydrate faster than adults. We see patients of all ages.

When to Go to the Emergency Room Instead

Go to the nearest emergency room or call 911 if you or someone with you has:

  • Severe dehydration with confusion or loss of consciousness (call 911)
  • No urination in 8+ hours with inability to keep any fluids down
  • Dehydration in infants with sunken fontanelle (go to ER)
  • Rapid heartbeat with chest pain alongside dehydration (go to ER)

If you are unsure, go to the ER. It is always better to be safe.
