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.

I'm looking at my blood report and I'm seeing a few things out of range, like my total leucocytes are at 3.83 which seems low, and my neutrophils are 34.9 and there's something going on with my lymphocytes at 56.7. Also, my basophils and monocytes' absolute counts are not within the normal range. I've also noticed that the mean corpuscular hemoglobin and the MCHC are a bit off. I had a fever not too long ago and still have mucus in my throat. I'm starting to worry because I read that these symptoms could be related to typhoid. Do you think it's possible that I have typhoid, or is there something else going on?
