For a persistent case of typhoid with continuing fever, it’s crucial for your child to be in close contact with a healthcare provider, as this is not something to manage solely at home. Given the complexity and seriousness of typhoid, continued professional medical monitoring is essential. However, there are some supportive Ayurvedic strategies that might aid alongside conventional treatments.

Diet plays a vital role. Encourage easily digestible foods; start with khichdi—a mixture of rice and mung dal, which helps stabilize the digestive fire (Agni) without overburdening the system. Ensure adequate hydration with warm water and rice gruel (kanji) to support digestion and recovery. Avoid spicy, fried foods and heavy dairy products as they may exacerbate the condition or further weaken Agni. You can use fresh ginger or its juice as it can help stimulate digestion but use it sparingly.

Turmeric, known for its antibacterial properties, can be added in small amounts to cooked food. It should not be relied upon as the sole treatment, but as a complementary supplement. Another useful herb is Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), known for its immunomodulatory properties. Guduchi stem prepared as a decoction may help bolster immunity. You can prepare this by boiling a few pieces of the stem in water, reducing it to half, and giving it to your child once it’s cooled down slightly.

Ensure your child gets plenty of rest, as physical recovery is tied closely to physical rest in Ayurveda. Creating a peaceful environment supports healing. Adhyatama Chikitsa, or mental hygiene involves keeping stress levels low, might help as stress can worsen symptoms indirectly.

If fever persists, or if the child experiences severe abdominal pain, vomiting, or other alarming symptoms like confusion or lethargy, seek immediate medical attention. It’s vital that ayurvedic treatments are used in tandem with, not in place of, medical advice. Avoid delaying critical medical processes with alternative approaches — balance is key in effective management of health.

Typhoid is a significant condition that requires careful medical attention, especially in children. Given that your child has been experiencing this for over a month, it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare professional to avoid any complications. However, from a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective, supporting systemic balance and digestion might help alongside conventional treatments.

Focus on strengthening agni, the digestive fire, which plays a crucial role in immunity. Start with a simple diet – easy-to-digest foods like rice porridge with ginger can be beneficial. Avoid heavy, oily, spicy or fried foods as they can burden digestion.

You might consider a herbal decoction. In Siddha medicine, a combination of Aegle marmelos (Bael), Coriander, and Ginger can aid in digestive health. Add a teaspoon of dried Bael fruit pulp and a teaspoon of coriander seeds to 4 cups of water, along with a few slices of fresh ginger. Boil to reduce it by half, strain, and give your child a cup twice daily under the supervision of a healthcare practitioner.

Ensure hydration, especially if there’s diarrhea. Water infused with a pinch of cumin seeds boiled in it can aid in maintaining fluid balance.

Since the issue is persistent and the fever hasn’t subsided, it needs medical urgency. Prolonged fevers can lead to complications and the recurrence must be professionally monitored. Prioritize following up with your child’s pediatrician or seek consultation from a health expert immediately to avoid binding any life-saving treatment. Keep all medical treatments consistent to ensure safety.

How are the blood tests?? How old is your child??
