What Causes Fever And Abdominal Pain?
I am 56 years old of average built.I was apparently well a week back. Now I am having fever ranging from 99 F to 102F for the last 5-6 days. I am also having abdominal pain ( right from pelvic to spleen) since yesterday. Also suffering from insomnia for last few days. Is it typhoid fever/entric fever? THANKS.

Hi
In regard to your query, with the clinical signs mentioned it looks like it is typhoid but to prove it by lab investigations it takes nearly 5-7 days.
I would suggest you take non oily and easily digestable foods to overcome the weakness.
Be well hydrated with fluids like coconut water etc... Also consume more fruits.
If it is confirmed with typhoid you need to be on antibiotics and have good hygienic food.
Hope my answer would be helpfulto you.
