Hello All,

Excerpt:
"Clinical signs of dehydration among children with acute diarrhea differ in their ability to distinguish among mild, moderate, and severe dehydration. Of the 10 findings studied, none is sufficiently accurate to be used in isolation. When considered together, sunken eyes, decreased skin turgor, weak pulse and general appearance provide the best explanatory power of the physical signs considered."
-------------------------------------------------------
"You can quickly check for dehydration at home. Pinch the skin over the back of the hand, on the abdomen, or over the front of the chest under the collarbone. This will show skin turgor. Mild dehydration will cause the skin to be slightly slow in its return to normal. Jan 10, 2016" Google
