Hydration. When a sunburn is present, the body is sending fluid to the area to try to heal it because the burn has stripped the area of moisture. Therefore, the rest of the body will suffer from not having enough fluids. A person with sunburn needs to counteract this depletion by drinking water and fluids, like sports drinks. This will help keep the body functioning properly while it is fighting to heal the skin. It is important for the body to not become dehydrated because it can cause further problems.
