Bubonic plague is treated primarily with antibiotics, which are most effective when given early in the infection. Common treatments include drugs such as gentamicin, streptomycin, doxycycline, and ciprofloxacin. Patients may also receive supportive care, including fluids and oxygen, to manage symptoms and complications. With prompt medical treatment, most people recover, but untreated cases can become severe or fatal.
