General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.

I usually advice ORS (WHO approved) to mild and moderate dehydration patients.

It is specifically made to enhance electrolyte and glucose absorption from gut.

ORS 20.5 gm sachet is dissolved in 1 liter drinking water. drink as much as you can and discard solution after 24 hour if not used.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards
Dr. Hiren
