Suggest Treatment And Diet For Typhoid

Hi, I just got my blood tested last evening after being sick for 2 days and vomiting continuously everything that I ate. My report shows Salmonella Typhi O : 1:160 positive and Salmonella Typhi H : 1:80 positive. Can you please tell me how serious is this, what measures, diet and treatment should I follow?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI,
Thanks for your query. I understand your concern.
- Diet in Typhoid - If there is no abdominal distension, soft easily digestible
nourishing diet should be given.
But in case of distended & painful abdomen Intravenous fluids & electrolytes are given in a calculated way in indoor patient hospital.
- Antibiotics are usually given after culture & sensitivity test of blood. Till then empirical antibiotic ( Cefexim,ciprofloxicine, cephotaxim ) can be started with your treating doctor's consultation.
- Home management-
- complete bed rest/ light diet with plenty of liquid& water./ no exertion or psychological tension/ no massage, fomentation of abdomen or exercises.
- Medication with strict regularity as per treating doctor;'s advise.
- Paracetamol 6 hourly can be given after food to control high grade fever .
- B complex supplements help.
Thanks.
