hey mate here is your answer

Explanation:

Oral rehydration solutions (ORS) are used to treat dehydration caused by diarrhea, a common illness in travellers. Unlike other fluids, the ratio of the ingredients in an ORS matches what the body needs to recover from a diarrheal illness.

Answer:

Oral rehydration therapy (ORT) is a type of fluid replacement used to prevent and treat dehydration, especially due to diarrhoea. It involves drinking water with modest amount of sugar and salts, specifically sodium and potassium. It works as glucose increases the uptake of sodium and thus water by the intestines.
