Oral rehydration therapy

Oral rehydration therapy, (also called ORT, oral rehydration salts or solutions (ORS), oral electrolyte, or drinking), is a simple, cheap, and effective treatment for diarrhea-related dehydration, for example due to cholera or rotavirus. It consists of a solution of salts and other substances such as glucose, sucrose, citrates or molasses, which is administered orally. It is used around the world, but is most important in the Third World, where it saves millions of children from diarrhea—still their leading cause of death.
