More salt and more water = pedialyte

Salt helps your kidneys retain more water actually so both is good. Drinks with electrolytes are drinks with salts in them

More salt but also more electrolytes in general. Electrolytes are what allow your body to absorb the water instead of getting rid of it even when you need it

In addition to all of the advice above, I do find that making foods salty and having water nearby makes me naturally drink more water. I have POTS and need to drink more water. So, I try to add extra salt to some foods, such as popcorn, and have a big glass (or two) nearby and I’ll just naturally drink all of it due to the extra saltiness.
