Description

(From source) This cholera patient is drinking oral rehydration solution (ORS) in order to counteract his cholera-induced dehydration.

The cholera patient should be encouraged to drink the Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS). Even patients who are vomiting can often be treated orally if they take small frequent sips. Their vomiting will subside when their acidosis is corrected.
