On hot summer days, it is important to stay hydrated because dehydration can set in quickly when your body doesn’t have enough fluid.

We mainly lose water through perspiration, urination and excreting bowels. When it’s warmer, you lose more fluid through sweat, making it easier to become dehydrated.

“Among the first symptoms to show up are a dry mouth, less urination, dark-colored urine, fatigue, dizziness, dry skin, headache, muscle cramps or feeling thirsty,” said Lexie Schwartz, RN and Emergency Department Manager at Marshfield Medical Center-Rice Lake. “In babies and children, dehydration can occur quicker due to the smaller body size. Watch for sunken eyes, irritability, and unusual fatigue, crying with no tears, a dry mouth or tongue and less wet diapers than usual.”

It’s a hot, summer day, the sun is shining and you can’t stop sweating. Dehydration can set in quickly when you don't stay hydrated.

Before the summer or fall sport season starts, it is important for your kid to have a pre-participation physical examination, or sports physical. The screening will identify underlying areas of concern that may become a risk during the sports season.

It’s encouraged your child’s sports physical be part of their annual well-child visit with their pediatrician or primary care provider. This helps ensure a comprehensive physical exam where the provider can thoroughly assess your child’s overall health and readiness for sports activities.

During a physical, your child’s provider will review any past injuries, fractures or sprains that may affect performance in their sport.
