my son aged 4 is suffering from for past 12 days. he was admitted in hospital and given inj. monocef for 1 week. now fever is not there. this is second time he suffers from typhoid. in aug month he suffered. now he takes asthalin syrup, calpol and beplex forte syrup. from when we can give him normal diet like fish, egg which he used to take daily?
Hi, There is no hard and fast rule regarding this. The dictum is when he is afebrile for more than 3 days, no more lethargic and having good appetite, his body is ready to accept a normal diet. For my patients, I suggest a period of 5 days fever free period before heavy diet. Also, since he is getting recurrent episodes kindly give due caution for food and water hygiene (always use boiled or RO/UV filtered water, avoid raw food, fruits and juices form outside as well as street food. Wash hand well with soap and water after toilet and before food. I also strongly recommend typhoid vaccine for him Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
