Hi, I just finished  travelling south east asia and arrived in asia a week ago. Ended up with a fever of 103 degrees F and after  blood test was told that i have a typhoid fever. I have started the antibiotis, strangely my dad and grandmother were given the same antibiotics the week before for their ilness as well, i am meant to travel in two days to attend a yoga program. Is it advisable? can i drink electrolytes to stay hydrated while taking the antibiotics?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As you are confirmed to have typhoid fever following your lab investigations, you should be treated properly with antibiotics and other medicines. Take the antibiotics only after consulting your doctor for typhoid fever the dose and type of antibiotics varies from one individual to others. While suffering from typhoid you need to take rest, and you need to take bland diet to avoid excess stress on the liver. So travelling will hamper your recovery and as you are going for a yoga training it will Chat Doctor. Consuming a lot of fluid will help you to recover fast along with the antibiotics, but you need to take rest for at least one week before you resume your work. Thank you.
