What Are the Causes and Symptoms of Typhoid, and How Can It Be Treated? - #15180
Last week, a friend of mine was diagnosed with typhoid, and I realized I don’t know much about this illness. From what I’ve read, typhoid is caused by a bacterial infection, but how does someone actually get infected? Is it only through contaminated food and water, or are there other ways it spreads? I also want to understand the early symptoms of typhoid. Does it start like a normal fever, or are there clear signs that differentiate it from a common viral illness? I read that symptoms include high fever, weakness, stomach pain, and loss of appetite, but does everyone experience the same thing? Another thing that concerns me is how typhoid affects digestion. I’ve heard that it can cause severe diarrhea or constipation, and in some cases, it can lead to intestinal complications. How serious is this condition if left untreated? I know that antibiotics are usually prescribed for typhoid, but I also want to know if Ayurveda has any natural remedies that help speed up recovery. Are there specific foods, herbs, or home treatments that can help reduce typhoid symptoms? If anyone has experienced typhoid before, how long did it take to recover? Did you try any natural remedies that actually helped?
