Hi,
My younger brother is suffering from typhoid igm positive and igg negative. He has been sick for five days now. I consulted a doctor but i am not satisfied . I want to know whether this is serious I mean acute . Any dietary precautions I should consider . How many days will he take to recover ?

Please I am much worried about my 13 yr old brother . Like today he is feeling pretty much okay but the lab results have frightened me .

Hello,
There is no reason to get frightened by the diagnosis of typhoid.
Patient will require a proper antibiotic course which is usually given from 10-14 days.Total recovery from fever takes around two weeks.
Avoid outside non veg,fried and outside food.
Give home cooked light food,fruits and fruit juices.
Take plenty of water and take complete rest
Thanks
