Spring break, a family vacay, or that business trip… Travel brings many situations which may result in dehydration. Unfamiliar foods can leave you or your child stuck in the bathroom with traveler’s diarrhea; the dry air in planes may leave everyone dry-mouthed; too much sunshine can turn all of you into crankypants; and the occasional alcoholic drink by the pool may leave you with a headache.
The Public Health Agency of Canada recommends packing a rehydration solution when travelling.1 Include Pedialyte® as part of your travel first-aid kit to rehydrate and feel better fast.
“3 flights,

Travel sickness and dehydration treatments
How travel can lead to dehydration
Stomach bugs and food poisoning
Traveling to exotic or new locales means eating exotic or new foods, which may not be prepared the way you or your child’s stomach is used to. And trips on a cruise ship can mean close quarters, which makes it easier for stomach bugs to spread. Any type of stomach upset can lead to dehydration if traveler's diarrhea and vomiting cause the body to lose fluids and electrolytes.
Heat
Running around on the beach, taking long hikes, or spending an afternoon rock climbing out in the sun… All of these warm-weather activities can leave you or your kid drenched with sweat. And too much perspiration can lead to dehydration.
Lack of humidity in planes and trains
Fatigue, headaches, dry mouth, and dry skin are just some of the dehydration symptoms that can come from being subjected to the lower humidity in a bus, a plane, or a train for long periods of time.
