Abstract

Oral rehydration therapy (ORT) is a highly effective method for preventing and treating dehydration, particularly in cases caused by diarrhea or vomiting. By replenishing lost fluids and electrolytes through oral rehydration solutions (ORS), this approach plays a critical role in managing dehydration in both children and adults. ORS contains a balanced mixture of salts, sugars, and water, which helps restore electrolyte balance and fluid levels in the body. As a simple, costeffective, and easily administered treatment, ORT has proven especially valuable in both developing and developed countries. It reduces the risk of severe dehydration, thereby preventing potential complications and improving patient outcomes.
