Detailed explanation-1: -Water is one of the best fluids to consume to help you to stay hydrated when you’re sick. The reason for this is that water doesn’t contain any calories, sugar, or preservatives, which are things that can cause dehydration. Don’t discount the power of a decaf or warm beverage that’s low in caffeine.
Detailed explanation-2: -Being sick also can lead to insensible fluid loss, such as sweating from fever or blowing your nose, Rosner says, while vomiting or diarrhea can exacerbate fluid loss. So, drinking more fluids helps replenish these losses.
Detailed explanation-3: -When you are sick, you need to increase your water intake to replace fluids lost to congestion, fever and vomiting among other factors. Additionally, the medicine you take to dry and clear out your system can sometimes contribute to dehydration.
Detailed explanation-4: -To stay hydrated, drink decaffeinated beverages (mainly water) throughout the day, not just when you’re thirsty. When you’re sick with vomiting or diarrhea, it’s even more important to drink water, as your body loses essential fluid it needs to function.
