Hi,
Children are precious for parents, and when they are attacked by dreaded
fever like
typhoid,the parents naturally are concerned. I understand your psychology.
- Typhoid is a disease of intestines,where the intestines get inflamed due to bacteria
Salmonella typhae.Naturally treatment consists of antibiotic as per your doctor's advice & diet control-so as to cause least strain to intestines( food that is easily digested in upper gastrointestinal tract)
- Another thing to be remembered is typhoid spread is through contaminated food.so higyne/boiling,
pasteurization is of utmost importance during disease and after recovery to avoid recurrence
- Diluted orange juice/boiled milk/barley/ boiled water can be given to child for first few days.
-To be followed by better nutrition as the recovery starts( higenycally prepared food,boiled /pasteurized milk/soups,boiled vegetables,higenycally eatable fruit like banana)
Thanks.
