Question 2

Discuss the concept of oral rehydration therapy (ORT).

Accepted Answer

Oral rehydration therapy is oral fluid replacement for children with severe diarrhea caused by infectious disease. ORT enables parents to mix a simple solution for their child from substances that they have at home. Currently ORT is saving an estimated one million lives each year by helping to stop the destructive spiral in which infection worsens diarrhea and diarrhea causes dehydration. The ORT solution increases a body's ability to absorb fluids. Clean or boiled drinking water is essential for ORT, however, because contaminated water will reinfect the child.
