Explanation:
The "Simple Solution" - Home made Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) Recipe
Six (6) level teaspoons of Sugar.
Half (1/2) level teaspoon of Salt.
One Litre of clean drinking or boiled water and then cooled - 5 cupfuls (each cup about 200 ml.)
Stir well, and feed it to the child from a clean cup. Do not use a bottle.
How much ORS drink to give?
Encourage the child to drink as much as possible.
A child under the age of 2 years needs at least 1/4 to 1/2 of a large (250-millilitre) cup of the ORS drink after each watery stool.
A child aged 2 years or older needs at least 1/2 to 1 whole large (250-millilitre) cup of the ORS drink after each watery stool.
What if ORS is not available?
Give the child a drink made with 6 level teaspoons of sugar and 1/2 level teaspoon of salt dissolved in 1 litre of clean water.
Be very careful to mix the correct amounts. Too much sugar can make the diarrhoea worse. Too much salt can be extremely harmful to the child.
Making the mixture a little too diluted (with more than 1 litre of clean water) is not harmful.
Preparing an oral rehydration solution (ORS)
Recipe for homemade salt sugar solution:
Wash your hands with soap and water before preparing the solution.
In a clean container mix:
One litre of safe water.
Half a small spoon of salt (3.5 gms).
Four big spoons (or eight small spoons) of sugar (40 gms).
Stir the salt and the sugar until they dissolve in the water.
Give the patient frequent sips from a cup or a spoon until he or she is no longer thirsty. (Spoonfuls are especially appropriate for young children.)
If the patient vomits, tell the caregiver and wait ten minutes before giving more.
You can add half a cup of orange juice or a mashed banana to the solution to make it taste better.
If ORS is still needed after 24 hours, make a fresh solution.
If the patient does not improve or signs of severe dehydration appear, take the patient to a health clinic.
