does ors help in loose motion - #21382

Yash

I am kinda freaking out here because my son has been having nonstop loose motions for like three days now. It started after he had some street food, and now I'm just worried sick. The poor kid is feeling weak and is complaining about stomach cramps. I read somewhere that does ORS help in loose motion but before I jump to conclusions, I wanted to get some advice. We’ve been giving him water but he doesn't wanna drink much, and I just wonder if giving him ORS could really make a difference? Are there any specific signs I should look out for that would indicate he’s dehydrated? I mean, he’s still playful but whenever he runs to the bathroom again I can see him getting more exhausted. I’m also a bit confused about how often we should give him ORS and if there are any side effects? It's been tough trying to keep him hydrated, and I really just wanna know does ORS help in loose motion or if there’s something else I should be looking at? Any immediate help would be great, cause I can’t keep going like this without knowing!
