Loose motions hit fast in Pakistan, especially during the summer months when temperatures in Lahore and Karachi push past 40\u00b0C and waterborne infections spread quickly. Before you can get to a pharmacy, or when it’s midnight and the nearest medical store is closed, knowing how to prepare ORS at home can make a real difference.<\/p>\n
ORS stands for Oral Rehydration Solution, a precisely measured mix of water, sugar, and salt that helps the body absorb fluids back into the bloodstream. It’s not a cure for the underlying infection, but it prevents the dehydration that makes diarrhea and vomiting dangerous. Dehydration from diarrhea can be prevented or treated simply, effectively, and cheaply in all age groups by giving patients an adequate glucose-electrolyte solution called Oral Rehydration Salts solution.<\/cite><\/p>\n The recipe takes under two minutes. Getting the measurements right, though, is what separates a safe solution from a harmful one.<\/p>\n
