Can water treat overdose on sodium?

Question

I accidentally consumed 3780mg of sodium over a 4 hour period. If I drink water will that counteract the sodium, or help in any way? How much water should I drink?

Answer 1

Drink as much water as you can handle, then get to an ER, because an overdose of salt will cause MANY serious health problems.

Answer 2

Yes. If it doesn't, get Powerade or some Gatorade. It will rehydrate you.

Answer 3

get to the hospital, to much salt can kill you and to much water can kill you, you shouldnt be messing about
