Question

Can I drink an ORS solution once or twice daily for rehydration? Is this safe, or could it cause problems for me later on? Should I be using something else like glucose instead since my doctor mentioned I've lost a lot of water in my body? What do you recommend?

ORS can be taken once or twice daily for rehydration, especially if you're experiencing dehydration. It helps replenish lost electrolytes safely. However, glucose alone is not as effective for rehydration since it lacks electrolytes. Stick to ORS for better hydration, but consult your doctor if you have any concerns.
