I'm wondering if it's okay for someone with typhoid, or someone who's just getting over it, to stay in an air-conditioned room. Is it safe or should it be avoided? Any advice would be appreciated.

Yes, it is safe for a typhoid patient, or someone recovering from typhoid, to sit in an air-conditioned room. It is important to maintain a comfortable temperature for the patient. Additionally, staying in a cool environment can help reduce fever and promote overall comfort during recovery.

Question

I'm really anxious about something that's been happening to me recently. A few days ago, I suddenly came down with a fever, which was really unusual because I haven't had a fever in a long time. What really worries me is that ever since that same evening, I've been struggling with shortness of breath. Yesterday, I went to see a doctor who ran some tests. My ECG and X-ray came out normal, but the Widal test showed I have typhoid, so now I'm in the hospital. It's been a day without a fever, but I still feel like I'm struggling to breathe, especially when I try to do even light physical activities. I found some stuff online that says having shortness of breath with typhoid could be a serious complication and usually happens around the third week of the illness. Can you shed some light on this for me? I'm kind of worried about what's going on.

Question

I'm really concerned because my dad has been dealing with a viral fever for the past week. The doctor prescribed medication that required injections twice a day, and now he's got these nonstop hiccups for the last two days. Could this be related to the medication, and what can we do to make the hiccups stop?
