 | | Unfortunately in most systems of medicine, starvation of a child with diarrhoea is considered an essential component of therapy. | | | Apart from correction of dehydration and control of vomitings, improvement in anorexia is the most important indicator of a positive response to therapy in a child with diarrhoea. | | | While ORT is efficient in successfully managing dehydration in 95-98 percent of uncomplicated diarrhoea, it should be remembered that problems may be encountered in the use of ORS. |
