Explanation:

Diarrhoea is characterized by frequent need to pass watery stool. It may be caused by an infection, food poisoning or indigestion.
It is very common in India, particularly among children. Under severe conditions it can be fatal. This is because of the excessive loss of water and salts from the body.
Even before a doctor is consulted the patient should be given plenty of boiled and cooled water with a pinch of salt and sugar dissolved in it. This is called Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS).
