Introduction

Severe diarrhea can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, which can be life-threatening, especially in children. Proper hydration is crucial to prevent these complications. While intravenous or subcutaneous infusion of fluids can be effective, offering fluids by mouth is a simpler and more accessible option. However, just giving water is not enough, as it does not address the loss of essential salts.

Offer oral fluids to patients experiencing severe diarrhea to prevent dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.
