Hello Mukunth Kumar,
Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query.
I understand your concern and problem.
You have hepatitis; an inflammation of the liver. There are several possible reasons for hepatitis. One and the most likely is alcohol. Viral infections, certain medicines are other common causes. Does the Sidha medicine that you took for hemorrhoids contain any heavy metal powders or extracts?
You should avoid alcohol now and also fat containing food if you have difficulty in tolerating them.
Was the diagnosis of Typhoid based on blood culture? The method to diagnose typhoid in the first week of illness, is identifying the organism in a blood culture.
Wish you a quick recovery!
If you have further queries, I am available on the web
