Hello, I'm a subject matter expert in health and nutrition. An ORS (Oral Rehydration Solution) drink is a special type of drink that contains water, sugar, and certain amounts of salts, typically sodium and potassium, which help to replace fluids and electrolytes lost from the body due to dehydration. It's commonly used to treat mild to moderate dehydration caused by conditions like diarrhea, vomiting, or excessive sweating. The World Health Organization (WHO) and many health authorities recommend ORS drinks as a simple and effective way to manage dehydration without the need for hospitalization.

Made at home: ORS Solution A special drink for diarrhoea. 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.
