Are GERD Infections Common To Occur Post Typhoid Fever?

Hi, I have just recovered from typhoid fever around 2 weeks ago. During the checkup, the doctor diagnosed me with GERD as well. I have stop taking medication for the gastric. My question, I am having quite a persistent random pain on my stomach area. Is that normal after typhoid? How long does it take for the digestion to be fully recovered after typhoid? Thanks

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
* GERD infections are not common after typhoid fever, but residual gastritis and stomach upset with low appetite stay for some period for around 10-15 days up to full recovery.

* Suggestions for better recovery:
- Drink plenty of liquids.
- Consume soft, light diet.
- Avoid oily, spicy, non-veg, hot beverages, dairy fat, and junk foods.
- Continue proton pump inhibitors as omeprazole or else on regular basis till full recovery.
- Avoid stress, anxiety.
- Have regular sound sleep of 8 hours.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V Patel
