Overview
Zinc + oral rehydration salts is a combination treatment for diarrhea, particularly in children. Oral rehydration solution (ORS) is a mixture of sugar, water, and salt that helps prevent and treat dehydration caused by diarrhea. Zinc supplementation reduces the duration and severity of diarrheal episodes, decreases the likelihood of subsequent infections for 2-3 months, helps restore immunity in zinc-deficient children, stabilizes cell membranes, and acts as a potassium channel blocker. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends this combination as the gold standard treatment for diarrheal disease.
