Hi, thank you for asking Healthcare Magic.
Typhoid fever is a water or food-borne disease. Effective treatment needs to be accompanied by preventive measures. This can be prevented by ensuring water and food safety. If water is from doubtful source, it can be made safe by boiling or adding chlorine-releasing agent. Other preventive measures include:
Washing of hands with soap before preparing or eating food
Avoiding raw food, shellfish, ice
Eating only cooked or hot food.

I hope that answers your query. If you have more questions or any follow up query do not hesitate to write to us.
I wish you well
