ABSTRACT
The study looks at the variation in the management of childhood diarrhoea in an urban and rural community of Rawalpindi District. The study aims to assess if place of residence has a bearing on how people manage episodes of diarrhoea in their offsprings. The study found that use of oral rehydration salt [ORS] and recommended home fluid use was more in the urban areas. The method of preparation of ORS and the use of antidiarrhoeals was the same in both communities. The study showed that breast feeding was more commonly practiced in the rural areas
