A member asked:
If you keep a patient hydrated, will their antibiodies eventually kill cholera on their own?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually: Per the CDC- "With prompt rehydration, fewer than 1% of cholera patients die." REF: https://www.cdc.gov/cholera/general/index.html. Oral and intravenous hydration is the key to treatment. Antibiotics can help to shorten the course of illness.
