Solution

The correct option is B False
  1. Cholera: A bacterial infection that causes severe diarrhea and dehydration and is spread by water.
    If not treated promptly, cholera can be lethal.
    Diarrhea and dehydration are the most common symptoms. In severe cases, shock and seizures may develop. Rehydration, IV fluids, and antibiotics are all part of the treatment.
  2. Typhoid: Typhoid fever is a disease that is spread via contaminated food and water.
    In locations where typhoid fever is common, vaccines are advised.
    High temperature, headache, stomach pain, weakness, vomiting, and loose stools are some symptoms.
    Antibiotics and fluids are used in the treatment.
  3. Diarrhea: Stools that are loose and watery occur more frequently than normal.
    Diarrhea is typically caused by a virus, although it can also be caused by contaminated food. It can occasionally be a symptom of another condition, such as inflammatory bowel disease or irritable bowel syndrome.
    Frequent, loose, watery feces and stomach aches are common symptoms.
    The majority of examples are self-explanatory. Antibiotics may be required for some infections. Dehydration can be severe enough to necessitate intravenous fluids in severe situations.

Final answer: The given statement is False.
