Water intoxication

Water intoxication, also known as hyponatremia, is a condition that occurs when there's too much water in the body, causing cells to swell. 

 This can be dangerous, especially for brain cells, and can lead to life-threatening complications.

• Symptoms of water intoxication include: Mild symptoms: Nausea, vomiting, and bloating
• Severe symptoms: Confusion, seizure, coma, and death

Other symptoms: Headache, fatigue, muscle cramping or weakness, blurred vision, lack of coordination, breathing issues, and weakness 

Treatment for water intoxication may include reducing water intake and replacing sodium in severe cases

Drinking too much water can be especially dangerous for children under one year old. Breast milk or formula provides all the fluid healthy babies need.
