The World Health Organization , beginning 2002, recommended a “reduced osmolarity/reduced-salt” Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) to adequately rehydrate the patient, which is key to treating any case of diarrhea . The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) considers rehydration as “the cornerstone of treatment of cholera”. CDC also recommends other treatment alternatives, based on recent studies in Bangladesh and other areas affected by cholera, such as zinc treatment. Severe cases need to take a recourse of antibiotics, though there are instances of resistance to tetracycline and other antimicrobial agents .

*Though there are many anti-diarrheal and ant-dysentery medicines are available in conventional systems of medicine, the immediate stoppage of diarrhoea may lead to complications as mentioned in the text. Therefore a survey study is needed to examine the prevalence of such complications caused by stoppage of diarrhea.
 +
*The rehydrating effect of ''pramathya'' (decoctions), ''peya'' (liquid gruel), sour processing media like ''dadima, changeri,'' buttermilk used in the treatment of ''atisara'' need to be investigated further.
 +
*More researches are needed to study effect of Ayurveda medicines in chronic diarrhea and psycho somatic disease like irritable bowel syndrome.
