Dear doctor, if typhoid is positive in the lab report, is hospital admission required, or can I take antibiotic injections in the morning and evening on a day care basis like a general OP patient? Please advise. If admission and IV fluids are required, how many days will it take to cure?

Typhoid can often be treated without hospital admission if the patient is stable and eating well. Severity and hospital stay can be best decided by the consulting doctor. Please follow as advised. Recovery with antibiotics and fluids typically takes 7 to 10 days.

Why do we feel dizzy after blood test?

For the past 3 to 4 months, he has been experiencing difficulty during urination. When he feels the urge to urinate, he is only able to pass about 30 to 40 percent of it and cannot empty his bladder completely. He also feels pain internally during the process. After a short time, the urge returns, but again he is unable to fully empty his bladder. I have attached his test report for your review.

My wife has been experiencing shortness of breath for the last four days along with nausea, vomiting, constipation, headache, nervousness, and anxiety. All her vital signs are within normal range including an oxygen saturation of 98 percent and her blood report is also normal. She is a breastfeeding mother of a two month old child. We have consulted both a medicine specialist and a gastroenterologist and they have suggested that the problem is related to anxiety. We are concerned whether this could be something else or possibly COVID. Please guide.
