I'm really confused about how long I should wait after recovering from typhoid before I can drink alcohol again. I've been getting conflicting advice from different people. Can you give me a clear and practical answer on this?

It's generally recommended to avoid alcohol for at least 3-6 months after recovering from typhoid to allow your liver and body to fully recover from the infection

I'm dealing with IBS and was diagnosed with depression about 1.5 years ago. I've been taking fludac 20, but recently I've been having bowel movements 6-7 times a day, and they're fragmented. It's not like diarrhea but it's been going on for 5 days with some stomach cramps. Usually, taking metrogyl 400 clears it up in a day, but this time it's not helping. I started taking norflox tz yesterdaytwice dailyand I'm feeling a little better, but there's still this urge for bowel movement and some cramps. Any thoughts on what might be happening or what else I should do?

I'm dealing with loose motions, nausea, and feeling a bit feverish since this morning. I had a chest X-ray yesterday which mentioned something about Prominent Hila, likely vessels. Could this X-ray finding be related to my stomach issues, or is it something separate? I'm curious to know your opinion on this.
