Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

No, this are not the symptoms of the typhoid.

But it is probably arises because of the I'll effect of the typhoid on the body.

I advice you to take the paracetamol, vitamin B complex and vitamin C under your doctors guidance. This can help heal the infection.

Please take the treatment of the typhoid as your are taking above drugs are the add-on to your treatment. Ignore the drugs is you are already taking it.

If you are having severe burn while eating you can take local anaesthetic cream to apply in the ulcers before you eat. It temporarily numbs the ulcers so that you can eat it.

Please eat high fibre diet as it can clears the bowels and helps healing the ulcer.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Please hit thank you for me if you are helped.
Thank you,
