Sugary Drinks' Impact on Diarrhea and ORS Formula

When you have diarrhea, you lose important water and salts.

Doctors use a special drink called ORS to help you replace them.

Some drinks that look like ORS have too much sugar, which can actually make diarrhea worse by pulling more water into your tummy.

Real ORS has the right amount of sugar and other ingredients to help your body absorb water properly.

It's important to use the correct ORS formula, often found in packets, to help you feel better and avoid serious problems.

This will prevent issues like needing to go to the hospital, or, more severely, organ failure.
