Hi,
It's important to see a healthcare provider determine the underlying cause of your symptoms. Frequent headaches and dehydration can be caused by various factors, such as dehydration, migraines, tension headaches, sinusitis, and more.
To address dehydration, you should make sure you are drinking enough water throughout the day. The recommended daily intake of water varies based on your age, sex, weight, and physical activity level. In general, adults should aim for at least 8 cups (64 ounces) of water per day. You may also consider adding electrolytes to your water or consuming sports drinks if you are sweating a lot or losing fluids due to diarrhea.
To manage your headaches, your healthcare provider may recommend over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. They may also suggest lifestyle changes, such as avoiding triggers that may be causing your headaches, getting enough sleep, and reducing stress.
Again, it's important to have a proper evaluation and diagnosis from a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
