What Experts Say

Oral rehydration solution works by combining water with the right balance of salts and sugar, which helps the intestine absorb fluid even during an episode of diarrhea. This simple mixture has saved countless lives worldwide.

Doctors recommend starting oral rehydration solution early in an episode of diarrhea, rather than waiting for signs of dehydration to appear. Small, frequent sips are usually better tolerated than large amounts taken all at once, especially in young children.

Parents are advised to continue normal breastfeeding or regular feeding alongside oral rehydration solution, since it replaces lost fluids and salts but does not provide full nutrition on its own.
