Suggest Treatment For Jaundice And Typhoid

Good Evening Sir, My younger brother who is 24 year old is suffering from both jaundice. And we came to know about it only one week back and from his report today only we came to know that he has typhoid too. I don't know whether it is the complication of typhoid or not. I will be very much pleased if you guide me sir.

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this diagnosis of typhoid and jaundice. Though these two conditions can be related, it is not always the case. I will suggest that he gets fully evaluated for other more likely possible causes of jaundice like liver disease before settling on typhoid as a possible cause. Conditions like hepatitis that can be caused by viruses, drugs, toxins, alcohol, etc should be looked into. Typhoid is treated with antibiotics. The most commonly used drug is ciprofloxacin.

I hop this helps and addresses your query fully. I wish your brother well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
