oral rehydration solution (ors)

How Much ORS Should Be Given?

The amount of ORS required depends on the child's weight and the severity of dehydration. General guidelines suggest:
Mild dehydration: 50 ml/kg over 4-6 hours
Moderate dehydration: 100 ml/kg over 4-6 hours
After the initial rehydration phase, ORS should be given after each loose stool (10 ml/kg for each episode in children under two years old, 100-200 ml for older children).
