I'm a little worried about something. I had typhoid fever last week and while I don't have the fever anymore, my mouth is still tasting really bitter. I've tried a bunch of things but nothing's working. I'm also feeling pretty weak. What could be causing the bitter taste and how can I get rid of it?

Concerning symptoms.

Possible causes:

  1. Hemorrhoids
  2. Anal fissures
  3. Proctitis
  4. Gut issues (e.g., IBS)

Home remedies for instant relief:

  1. Warm water sitz baths (15-20 minutes, 2-3 times a day)
  2. Apply coconut oil or aloe vera gel to the affected area
  3. Increase fiber intake (fruits, vegetables, whole grains)
  4. Stay hydrated (8-10 glasses of water)
  5. Practice relaxation techniques (deep breathing, meditation) to manage depression and stress

Consult a doctor (proctologist or gastroenterologist) for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
