In case of diarrhoea/dysentery, doctor suggest to the patient to have plenty of ORS. Why is it necessary? Can you prepare ORS at home.
Answers
Health Basics Oral Rehydration Therapy (ORT) is the cheap, simple and effective way to treat dehydration caused by diarrhoea. When diarrhoea occurs, essential fluids and salts are lost from the body and must be quickly replaced. Many of the millions of children who die every year in developing countries from diarrhoea could be saved if they were given ORT promptly. This includes giving extra fluids at home such as tea, soups, rice water and fruit juices to prevent dehydration, and the use of oral rehydration salt (ORS) solution to treat dehydration. Made up with clean water the ORS drink contains the main elements that are lost from the body during diarrhea. It is effective in treating dehydration resulting from all types of acute diarrhoeal diseases.
