What Is The Treatment For Dehydration?

Imy b/f went to Dr s today and was diagnosed with dehydration. He had a fevor all day and it climbed to 102.4. While he was at the Dr s office they gave him a shot for nashua. Although he didnt throw up he did feel nausiated. The Dr perscribed Ondansetron. His fevor broke tonight finally at 9ish and was sweating. I took his temp then and it was 97.7. Long story short my ? is They also perscribed Selameth/Trimethoprim 800/160 and the label says to take it twice a day. I gave him the 1st dose at aqbout 2pm today, but I dont know what this medication is for and I dont know if I can give it to him again tonight before the 12 hour time.

Tablet Ondem you can repeat if required.
Give him plenty of water, electrolyte and ORS liquids.
