If you are not having vomiting or loose motions, then drinking enough water should bring back your osmolality to around 290-285.
IV fluids are needed only if you are having fall in pressure due to hypovolemia.

I Hope you can take iv fluid therapy all by yourself.
But before putting An iv line and starting fluid therapy we always ask ourselves:
Is there any necessity for iv fluids?
Is there any state of dehydration?
In which context serum osmolality is Used ?
Is the patient diabetic with severe hyperglycemia (I know you all these term or you can Google obviously) having hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome?
Is taking iv fluid May lead to volume overload and eventually heart failure and fatal consequences?
Is there any hemodynamic instability?
If we answer to all of these questions and we know that iv fluids are Safe , iv fluid can definitely be taken for mental well-being.
Next Steps
Better to consult doctor in clinic or as a online consultation if still confused and want to discuss it in detail only for knowledge purpose.
Get blood Sugar test done FBS, PPBS.
