How Long Does Dehydration Take To Get Cured?

How long does it take to recover from dehydration? That is what was diagnosed at the clinic, but I also had become overheated two weeks prior, and was suffering with summer cold --- congestion, cough, fever earlier. When pulse became very rapid and light, dizziness, and a tinge of nausea ensued. I had also taken my morning meds without food and had a cup of full caffeine coffee (which I m not used to). I am a 67 year old male.
