What is the cure for cholera?

Answer 1

You can cure the cholera by heavy infusion of the intravenous fluids. You may have to put two infusion lines with large bore needle or intracath or vasofix. You have to give ringer lactate solution with added potassium chloride in the bottle. Direct potassium chloride will kill the patient in no time. Give the fluid ruthlessly. You may give four liters of fluid in first hour only. You have to keep the heart rate to about 100 per minute and systolic blood pressure at about 100 mm of Hg. The fluid should be warmed to body temperature. Total non-touch technique has to be used to maintain the aseptic transfusion unit. Patient will not complain of thirst due to loss of isotonic fluid. But then his routine need of water is to be satisfied by giving him 10 % dextrose solution two to three litres per day. You can give him one ampule of multivitamin per day in dextrose solution. Once vomiting is controlled, you can give him oral re-hydration solution to save I. V. fluids. With proper and confident treatment the patient will not die. You may have to give up to 30 litres of fluids in say two days, apart from oral re-hydration fluids. You can give him injection oxytetracyline (Teramycin) twice a day for two to three days.

Answer 2

The main treatment for cholera is oral rehydration therapy. Typically antibiotics are not needed, but if they are then you could use tetracycline, doxycycline, one of the aminoglycosides or one of the flouroquinolones.

Answer 3

The most convenient cure for cholera is preventing it from occurring in the first place. If a person is infected, the cure for cholera involves treatment with fluid replacement and possibly antibiotics. If treatments for cholera are started in a timely manner and in adequate volumes, a cure for cholera is possible in greater than 99 percent of cases

Answer 4

The objective of treatment is to replace fluid and electrolytes lost through diarrhea. Depending on your condition, you may be given fluids by mouth or through a vein (intravenous). Antibiotics may shorten the time you feel ill.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed an oral rehydration solution that is cheaper and easier to use than the typical intravenous fluid. This solution of sugar and electrolytes is now being used internationally.

Answer 6

Doctors treat cholera with special solutions that help replace the patient's lost fluids. The solutions may be taken orally or intravenously (by injection). Intravenous treatments are more effective, but they often are not available in rural areas where the illness frequently occurs. An easily prepared household solution for treating cholera consists of 5 grams (1 teaspoon) of salt and 20 grams (4 teaspoons) of sugar per 1 liter (0.95 quart) of water. The amount of fluid given to the patient should match the amount lost in diarrhea. Ewweee...
