1) You should work with the Children's Recode (KR) file. If you use the IR file, the variables for each child are listed separately (e.g. h13b_1 through h13b_6 are for up to 6 separate children).
2) h13 is the variable for Oral Rehydration Solution
h13b is for pre-packaged ORS (if they exist in the country)
h15e is whether given zinc
Search the country specific variables too. For example in Bangladesh 2011, variable s522c is "given zinc syrup" and s522d is "given zinc tablet".
