Quick Answer
When you genuinely cannot keep oral fluids down, IV hydration is the fastest and most reliable way to correct dehydration. It is worth it for moderate dehydration from vomiting, diarrhea, heat exhaustion, or persistent nausea where oral rehydration has failed. It is not necessary for routine mild dehydration that resolves with water, electrolyte drinks, or rest. At our Knightdale clinic we make this assessment for you during the visit and don't recommend IV fluids when they aren't needed.
