Diarrhea Medicine
Dehydration due to diarrhea claims the lives of 1.8 million children under the age of 5 every year. Local health workers can recognize the signs and symptoms of dehydration due to diarrhea and treat with oral rehydration solution (ORS) — a simple solution of clean water, sugar, and salt that helps a baby recover. In some countries, zinc tablets are added to the treatment, which helps the child recover faster and prevents future infections.
For as little as $8, trained local health workers can treat a child with ORS and zinc.
