During the Civil War, nurses treated dysentery primarily through supportive care, as there were no effective medications available at the time. They focused on maintaining hydration by encouraging fluid intake, often using homemade electrolyte solutions, and ensuring proper nutrition when possible. Nurses also implemented hygiene practices to prevent further spread of the disease, such as isolating infected patients and maintaining clean living conditions. Additionally, they used herbal remedies and other traditional treatments to alleviate symptoms.
