I'm dealing with a dry cough and a throat infection. Which foods should I stay away from? Is it okay to have eggs and drink milk while I'm like this?

During a dry cough and throat infection, it is advisable to avoid foods that can irritate the throat such as spicy foods, acidic foods, and cold beverages. It is generally safe to consume eggs and milk during this period. However, if you notice that these foods worsen your symptoms, you may want to avoid them temporarily.

I'm really worried about what's happening with my health lately. Around 20 days ago, I had typhoid without a fever, just mild symptoms. It came with weakness, headaches, and gas, and after a blood test, it was confirmed as typhoid. My doctor said it might have been around for 2-3 months before that. I took antibiotics for 12 days and finished them 5-6 days ago. But yesterday, I started experiencing gas problems and a heavy feeling below my chest. Mornings seem worse with intense weakness, like there's no blood in my body, sleepiness, a slight headache, and pain in both legs. I also have a slight fever, and my anxiety spikes before breakfast, though it calms down a bit after I eat. I'm curious if this is another condition or if the typhoid hasn't cleared up yet. What do you think?

It is possible that your symptoms could be related to the typhoid infection not being completely cured. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking a proton pump inhibitor like Pantoprazole 40mg once daily before breakfast to help with the gas problem and congestion below the chest area. Additionally, you can take a multivitamin supplement like Becosules capsule once daily after breakfast to help with the weakness and sleepiness. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your doctor for further management.
