Dr. Wang Mingxuan
For mild cases of water intoxication, symptoms can spontaneously resolve by restricting fluid intake or promoting the excretion of excess water through diuretics. The prognosis is generally favorable, with no long-term sequelae. However, in severe cases of water intoxication, failure to provide prompt and effective treatment may result in permanent neurological damage.
