I'm really concerned about this recent weight loss I've experienced. I was prescribed Phlogam to help with my sinus pain, and I've been taking it along with antibiotics for about a month now. I've lost about 2 kilograms since I started. Could Phlogam be the reason for this weight loss? Any insight would be appreciated.

View allI'm a bit confused because I was diagnosed with typhoid through a blood test, but I haven't really felt sick or had any symptoms like a fever. The only thing I've noticed is some weight loss, which is what led me to get tested in the first place and they found typhoid. I'm wondering if it's okay to drink milk while I'm dealing with this? Do you have any advice on what kind of diet I should follow? I've already started taking the typhoid medication.
During typhoid, it is important to follow a specific diet to aid in your recovery. You can drink milk during typhoid, but it is recommended to consume pasteurized milk to avoid any risk of contamination. Additionally, it is advisable to avoid raw fruits and vegetables, as well as spicy and oily foods. As for your diet during typhoid, you should focus on easily digestible foods such as boiled or steamed vegetables, soups, broths, porridge, and yogurt. It is essential to stay hydrated, so make sure to drink plenty of water and clear fluids. Since you have started taking typhoid medicines, it is crucial to complete the full course as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Some common antibiotics used to treat typhoid include Ciprofloxacin, Azithromycin, and Ceftriaxone. Make sure to take the medication as directed and finish the entire course even if you start feeling better. Remember to get plenty of rest and avoid strenuous activities during your recovery period. If you experience any new or worsening symptoms, contact your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm recovering from typhoid and noticed my body temperature goes up to 99.1F. Is this still considered a fever, or is it within the normal range? Also, I'm wondering if it's safe for me to be in an air-conditioned room at work. Can I resume going to the office, or should I take more precautions?
Normal,nothing to worry ok.
