Hi,

Treatment of typhoid fever is no different in diabetics.

If the diagnosis has been made then your husband should take Ofloxacin. He should take Acetaminophen if his fever goes beyond 100.

He should be given a bland diet as his digestion will not be optimum while he has been suffering from typhoid.

You should talk to his primary care physician if his blood sugar shoots. He should take plenty of rest and should drink plenty of water. He should continue his diabetic medicines as usual.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Prabhash Verma,
