What medication should be taken for cholera symptoms?

Cholera is an acute infectious disease caused by ingestion of water or food contaminated with the cholera bacterium, primarily manifesting as diarrhea. Antibiotics are generally used in cholera treatment mainly to shorten the duration of illness and reduce the frequency of diarrhea, although this is not the primary treatment method but rather an adjunctive therapy. Commonly used antibiotics include ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin; doxycycline or minocycline may also be selected. The treatment principles involve strict isolation, prompt fluid replacement, and symptomatic management.
