What diet should be followed for recovery from typhoid and jaundice?
Patient: hello, i am suffering from typhoid and jaundice, felling very weak and full stomach too.. what kind of foods can be taken to cure it quickly my doctor reports say serum bilirubin : a.2mg/dl widal ; 1:160 1:80 1:20 1:20 so please suggest some thing that can cure quickly Doctor: Hello, Welcome to HCM, As you are having increased bilrubin level and raising titers of O and H antigen of typhoid, you should not put extra burden on liver. Liver will be affected in this condition, as liver is considered as factory of the human body, most of the metabolism takes place in liver. As liver is affected, the diet rich in protein and fat should be avoided for atleast 4 weeks following the infection. You can take diet rich in carbohydrates and soft diet, which will help for faster recovery of the damaged liver caused by the infection. Thank you.
