III. No dehydration Instruct the patient or the caretaker to return if any of the following signs develop: Increased number of watery stool. Marked thirst. Repeated vomiting. Any signs indicating other problems e.g. fever or blood in stool.
Antibiotics Antimicrobial therapy for cholera is an adjunct to fluid therapy and is not an essential therapeutic component. The drug should be given when the patient is first seen and cholera is suspected before culture and susceptibility reports of the stool culture. It should not be given to asymptomatic contacts because of increased risk of developing resistance and not cost effective.
