I'm really concerned about my mom. She had brain tumor surgery last year, and the doctor prescribed her Hisone 5mg pills to take daily since then. Lately, she's been having some dizziness and occasional blackouts. Could these symptoms be related to the Hisone pills she's taking? What might be causing this?

Don't worry, hospitalization ensures close monitoring and proper care. Shortness of breath in typhoid fever can occur due to various reasons, such as anemia, dehydration, or cardiac complications. Although it's true that shortness of breath typically occurs in the third week, it's not a hard and fast rule. Your doctor will continue to monitor your condition and adjust treatment accordingly. Focus on resting, staying hydrated, and following your treatment plan. You're in good hands; let the medical team manage your care.
