Diarrhoea Management

Diarrhoea is a common yet serious health issue, especially among children. It is caused by infections from contaminated food, water, or poor hygiene. It leads to frequent loose motions, which can result in dehydration and weakness.

The best way to manage diarrhoea is through early and proper care. One of the most effective treatments is giving Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS), which helps replace lost fluids and salts. Homemade remedies like rice water, coconut water, and buttermilk can also help keep the patient hydrated.

Maintaining good hygiene is key to preventing diarrhoea. Hands should be washed with soap before eating and after using the toilet. Food must be cooked properly and drinking water should be boiled or filtered. Children should avoid street food and always carry clean water to school.

Awareness is the first step to prevention. Students should share this knowledge with their family and friends. Together, we can stop the spread of diarrhoea and build a healthier future.
