During the Civil War, diphtheria was primarily treated with supportive care, as there were no effective antibiotics or vaccines available at the time. Treatments included the use of various home remedies, such as herbal concoctions and poultices, as well as measures to ease symptoms like throat swelling and difficulty breathing. In some cases, tracheostomy was performed to help patients breathe. The lack of effective medical interventions often resulted in high mortality rates from the disease.
