I've been dealing with both dengue and typhoid last month, so now I'm really concerned about recovering fully. What kind of precautions or symptoms should I be looking out for going forward to ensure I get back to feeling healthy? I'd appreciate any advice you could share!

It's important to focus on rebuilding your immunity and strength after recovering from dengue and typhoid. Ensure a balanced diet rich in vitamins and proteins, stay hydrated, and get adequate rest. If you experience any fatigue, fever, or unusual symptoms, please consult your doctor for further guidance.
