World ORS Day: How to Prevent Dehydration | Dr. Jayanti Khura | Manipal Hospital Bhubaneswar

Dehydration occurs when your body loses more fluids than it takes in, and it can rapidly become dangerous, especially for vulnerable groups like young children, the elderly, or those suffering from seasonal illnesses like diarrhoea and fever. On World ORS Day, Dr. Jayanti Khura, Consultant – Internal Medicine, Manipal Hospital Bhubaneswar, explains the critical importance of Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) for preventing and treating dehydration. When the body doesn’t have enough fluids, it leads to low blood pressure, weakness, kidney problems, or even unconsciousness. You can have symptoms of dry mouth or tongue, no tears while crying (in kids), sunken eyes, less or dark-colored urine, or even dizziness or tiredness. Oral Rehydration Solution contains the right balance of salt, sugar, and minerals to help the body absorb water properly. It restores hydration faster and prevents complications.
