How To Treat Fatigue Along With Fever And Skin Peeling On Lips Caused Due To Dehydration?

I believe I suffered from dehydration last weekend. I worked outside all day without water. I started running fever and had sweats. Throwing up, well, spitting up ...first bubbles then stomach acid. I had Severe stomach pain for two days that gradually went away after drinking a bottle of pedialite and quite a few liters of water. I suffered horribly, skin was peeling on my lips and elbows, i had heat rash on inside of arms, i was very tired and my legs were extremely weak, I could barely stand. I had lost about 4 lbs. Now I m at 102, (yes I m a little underweight) my average weight is 130. I would like to know what internal damage might have happened because now I have trouble eatting meat without having stomach pain and tiredness for hours after a meal.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Such damage may take around 2 weeks to recover. Drink at least 3 litres of water, take soft foods like yoghurt, soft rice with shredded meat, eat small portions 5-6 times a day. As you begin to tolerate soft meals, gradually progress your diet to regular diet. If you can drink water with ORS do that since it will help you replenish your electrolytes quicker.
Hope this helped.
