What are the causes of typhoid, and how can it be prevented or treated naturally? - #16920

I recently heard about typhoid after a friend of mine was diagnosed with it. She had symptoms like fever, fatigue, and abdominal pain, and it really made me worried. I’ve heard that typhoid is caused by a bacterial infection, but I’m still not entirely clear about how it spreads and what the best treatment options are. What exactly causes typhoid, and how is it transmitted? From what I understand, typhoid fever is caused by the bacteria Salmonella typhi, which can spread through contaminated food or water. But what are the specific symptoms to look out for, and how can I tell if someone might be infected? I’ve read that typhoid can cause high fever, abdominal discomfort, and even rashes, but are these symptoms always present, or do they vary from person to person? I know that antibiotics are typically prescribed to treat typhoid, but how long does it take to recover from the infection? Can typhoid cause long-term health complications if it’s not treated promptly? I’ve also heard about the typhoid vaccine—is this something I should consider if I live in or travel to areas where typhoid is more common? In addition to antibiotics, I’m curious about any natural remedies or dietary changes that can support recovery from typhoid. Are there specific herbs or foods that can help the body heal faster and reduce the symptoms? Can Ayurveda provide treatments that complement antibiotics and help improve overall recovery? If anyone has had typhoid, I’d love to hear about your experience. How long did it take for you to recover, and what treatments worked best for you?
