Frequently Asked Questions

What are the characteristic signs of typhoid fever?

Typical symptoms include continuous high fever that rises daily, severe headache, dry cough, stomach pain, loss of appetite, constipation or diarrhea, and profound exhaustion.

How is typhoid confirmed by a General Physician?

Diagnosis is established through blood tests, such as blood cultures (gold standard in early fever) and Typhidot/Widal tests, along with a Complete Blood Count.

How long does typhoid treatment take?

A complete course of oral or injectable antibiotics typically lasts 7 to 14 days. Symptoms usually resolve within a few days of starting antibiotics, but finishing the entire medication course is vital.

Can typhoid recur after treatment?

Yes, relapses can occur if the antibiotic regimen was incomplete or if re-infection occurs from contaminated food or water.

What diet is recommended during typhoid recovery?

A bland, high-calorie, easily digestible diet with plenty of fluids (coconut water, oral rehydration solutions, clear soups, boiled rice, and khichdi) is recommended.
