She is suffering from dehydration so she needs an IV fluid hydration.

<h3>What does IV refer to?</h3>

Intravenous means "within a vein." Most frequently, it alludes to administering medications or fluids via a needle or tube placed into a vein. This enables the medication or fluid to immediately reach your bloodstream.

IV solutions maintain fluid equilibrium when water is lost. Water makes up over 60% of the human body, with two-thirds of it being stored intracellularly. The remainder is located between cells and in blood vessels.

Isotonic IV fluid is the most popular kind. Normal saline, 5 percent dextrose solutions dissolved in water, and Lactated Ringer's solutions are examples of isotonic intravenous fluids. These are employed to treat electrolyte imbalance-induced dehydration.
