Lactating Mother Diagnosed With Typhoid. On Medication. Feeling Extremely Tired After Fasting. Suggestions?

Hi, I am 32 years old. My height is 5ft 6 . My weight is 74 kgs. I am breast-feeding my 15 months old baby. I was diagnosed with typhoid 2 months back and was on medication for about a month. I am trying to fast during ramadan. Infact, I could fast for 3 days. After this, for the past 8 days, I feel like I have no energy left in my body. Is there any way that I can gain my energy back and start fasting . Thanks

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi welcome to HCMForum. The breast feading mothers should have double the diet than the other women. and you have started fasting,so the glucose levels in your blood has come down. if you want to continue fasting you should have infusion treatment by your doctor, followed by plenty of glucose or calory containing foods in between the fast.
Besides i advise you to take care about the child. give the child veining food and out side milk as a supplement to the mothers milk. other wise the baby may become week.
Thanks for calling.
