Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You need to drink more water that is 1.5 to 2 liters per day. It's the normal consumption needed if you are getting dehydrated more and then you can use ORS solution.
ORS can be made in the home also. Put water, add salt and sugar in equal quantities, as per taste. Use that water for drinking then you won't lose your electrolytes even if dehydrated then also water stays in your body.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Archana
