General knowledge

Medical GK: diarrhoea causes dehydration, which is treated with ORS and zinc; the rotavirus vaccine helps prevent severe diarrhoea in children; clean drinking water and handwashing reduce it.

चिकित्सा GK में दस्त से निर्जलीकरण होता है, जिसका इलाज ORS और ज़िंक से होता है; rotavirus टीका बच्चों में गंभीर दस्त रोकने में मदद करता है; स्वच्छ पेयजल और हाथ धोना इसे घटाते हैं।
