Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Oral rehydration therapy is based on the fact that water is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Even when the body fluid is lost during dehydration, water continues to be absorbed, though in small quantities. The oral rehydration therapy should be done as early as possible to prevent dehydration due to diarrhea and frequent vomiting.
