administration of oral rehydration salts to replace lost fluids
You should die from cholera when you refuse to seek treatment.

To stop the cholera epidemic, you need to attack the cholera on two fronts. One is to stop the spread of cholera and second is to treat the patients of cholera. Chlorination of water is the best method to make the water safe for drinking. For chlorination to be effective, the water need to be free from the organic material. You go for super-chlorination in cholera epidemic. Food should be freshly cooked to eat. Second in treatment of the cholera patients. If the patient of cholera dies, you may create the panic in the minds of people and they can run to other towns to create the new foci of cholera epidemic. So you need to isolate the patients to some convenient place, like school. You have to treat the patient aggressively, with intravenous fluids as well as with oral re-hydration solution. You need to seek cooperation from all the sections of the community. Quality of leadership makes all the difference. With proper and confident management you can stop the cholera epidemic, rather dramatically.
The success rate of cholera treatment is very high, especially when patients receive prompt and appropriate care. With timely administration of oral rehydration solutions or intravenous fluids, the mortality rate can be reduced to less than 1%. Early intervention is crucial, as untreated cholera can lead to severe dehydration and death within hours. Overall, with proper treatment, nearly all patients can recover from cholera.
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% of cases.

Typically, cholera treatment includes fluid replacement and antibiotics. In severe cases, intravenous (IV) fluid replacement may be necessary. It is very important that treatment is started as soon as possible after diagnosis. If prompt and appropriate treatment is given, the mortality rate is reduced to well under one percent.
Cholera is not caused by any virus. Cholera is caused by baceteria. Name of that bacteria is vibrio cholerae.
Cholera is caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae.
Without treatment, the lethality rate for cholera can be as high as 50% to 70%. The disease can lead to severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalances within hours, making prompt medical intervention critical. With effective treatment, including rehydration therapy, the mortality rate drops significantly to below 1%.
