Oral Rehydration Salts

Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) are a solution used to replenish fluids and electrolytes lost during diarrhea, vomiting, or other conditions that cause dehydration. They contain a specific balance of water, sugar, and electrolytes (salts) to optimize fluid absorption in the intestines. ORS is a simple and effective way to treat dehydration, especially in children, and is a cornerstone of World Health Organization's approach to managing diarrhea.
