Suggest treatment for typhoid
Patient: Doctor i am from Calgary Canada I visited India and sick over there when I came back I was very sick my family doctor sent my blood to lab for test and it was found that I was attacked by salmonella para typhi (a kind of thypoid ) I was hospitalized for 9 days and given 2gm of ciftraxione I feel ok so I send home where nurse gave this antibiotics for further 9 days intra venous so total 14 days I am better than before but I still sometimes feel cold in my body, mild pain in intestine and back and in my legs . According to Candian doctors I do not need any diet restrictions and i can eat anything like roti and other stuff just take care of spicy food and oit ghee and butter . As per doctor I am started going to my work and started eating every thing and try to avoid outside food as long as possible My question is this can this fever come again as I am working now and is it ok to eat roti and cooked vegetable other than soft food and how long it will take to heal every thing after your doctor say that your fever is fixed Can I do any kind of work after 15 days of cure pls let me know my email is YYYY@YYYY Thanks Parmined Gill Doctor: Hello For typhoid fever ceftriazone 2 gm is drug of choice and you took treatment . If possible take CIPROFLOXACIN 500 mg twice in day for  4 weeks (orally ) . As in India  most of typhoid strains responded to this drug . As for as concerned about diet and work , you can take any type of diet and resume your work at once but if possible avoid hard physical work.In India a patient of typhoid advised to avoid chilled items ( freeze items ) , I don't know why?I don't advise such things .Since there are 4 type of typhoid strains , so I advise ciprofloxacin.But this is a prescription drug so take prescription from your doctor and consultation.Good luck.
