Sol. The main aim of
Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) therapy in children with diarrhea is
all of the above. ORS helps to:
·
Prevent dehydration, which is the most immediate risk for children with diarrhea.
·
Reduce mortality by addressing dehydration and preventing complications that can arise from it.
·
Correct water and electrolyte deficit, as diarrhea can lead to the loss of vital fluids and electrolytes (like sodium and potassium), which ORS helps replenish.
ORS is a simple, effective, and life-saving treatment for diarrhea-related dehydration in children.
