How is Cholera Treated

Question

How is cholera treated?
A) Tetracycline
B) Copious amounts of intravenous fluids
C) Aminoglycosides with a large amount of intravenous fluids
D) Rest and cold showers

Accepted Answer

Cholera is primarily treated with copious amounts of intravenous fluids to combat the severe dehydration caused by the disease. Antibiotics such as tetracycline and aminoglycosides can also be used to target the bacteria causing the infection, but they are not the first line of treatment and should not be used as a substitute for rehydration therapy. Rest and cold showers are not effective treatments for cholera.
