Brief Answer:
If severe symptoms go to the ER.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

If you are having symptoms of cramps, irregular heartbeat, edema or swelling in legs and face, seizures, lethargy, fatigue, vomiting, and diarrhea, etc these may need to go to the ER.

If you are having a few symptoms and overall health is good but mild fatigue, cramps; this can wait and continue to take fluids and electrolytes orally without the need to go to ER.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
