hi 2 weeks back i started having severe pain in my knee and fever with chills. i was treated with 3rd generation cephalosporin but i had persistant fever with severe knee pain. now i am diagnosed to have typhoid. what changes does typhoid cause in the knee
HI, Typhoid can present with knee pain and joint pain. It is a part of the disease process. Once you are on antibiotics and the disease subsides the knee pain will also go down. Typhoid bacteria(Salmonella) take their time getting eliminated from your system. They have no long term effects on your knee unless you are a hemophiliac or very rarely you have a knee abscess. Please do not worry. You would be perfectly fine to resume normal activities like running in another week and a half. Thank you for your query.
