To be able to get rid of a dehydration headache you need to get your body hydrated again by drinking some water or other hydrating drinks.

After getting your body hydrated again the dehydration headache should begin going away within an hour but sometimes the dehydration headache may last up to 3 to 4 hours depending on how bad you're dehydrated.

When you have a dehydration headache the pain can be felt at the front, back, side, or all over the head and will feel either like a dull headache or an intense migraine.

If the headache doesn't go away within 3 hours you might want to go to the emergency room or urgent care because you could be more severely dehydrated which would require an IV to replace lost fluids and electrolytes.

Severe dehydration can lead to death so you need medical attention if the dehydration is too severe.
