Dr Purvi Kamath : Child Vaccination

ORS: The Lifesaving Solution Every Parent Should Know Diarrhea is one of the most common reasons children visit a pediatrician in Airoli. While most cases are mild, diarrhea can quickly lead to dehydration if not treated promptly. Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) is one of the simplest, safest, and most effective treatments to replace the water and essential salts lost during diarrhea and vomiting. Starting ORS early can prevent dehydration, reduce hospital admissions, and save lives. Parents should begin giving ORS as soon as loose motions start, in small frequent sips after every loose stool. Breastfeeding should always continue, and older children should be encouraged to eat their regular diet. Zinc supplementation, when advised by your pediatrician, helps reduce the severity and duration of diarrhea. Seek immediate medical care if your child has blood in stools, repeated vomiting, persistent fever, excessive sleepiness, poor feeding, or signs of dehydration.
