Here is a rehydration formula that was developed for use in third world countries as an alternative to oral rehydration salts. Obviously this should only be used when needed. This can be administered orally or rectally if needed.
1 Quart/Liter clean water
1-2 level teaspoons salt
6-8 level teaspoons sugar OR 2 tsp honey
The juice of 1 lime OR 1 lemon OR 1/2 an orange or grapefruit OR 1 large spoonful mashed ripe banana
Have the person drink the whole liter in small sips so they can hopefully keep it down and follow with one quart/liter clean water. Continue treatment until the person is urinating regularly.
