Water intoxication requires treatment through medication, ensuring water purity, and other methods. For mild cases of water intoxication, standard treatment measures can be applied. In daily life, it is important to ensure the cleanliness and safety of drinking water, and to allow water to settle before drinking in order to reduce impurities. If the water contains serious toxins, diuretics should be used under a doctor's guidance.
