I'm really worried because my mom has a 100-degree fever since 4 PM. She took Meftal Forte, but it's been three hours and it hasn't gone down. I'm wondering if she can take Dolo 500 or 650 now. What should I do?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Since the fever hasn't come down after Meftal Forte, you can give her Dolo 500 mg. However, it's important to monitor her condition closely. If the fever persists or worsens, consider seeking medical attention to rule out any underlying infections.

I'm looking at my Widal test results and I'm a bit confused. It mentions Salmonella typhi O at 140 dilutions, Salmonella typhi H at 120 dilutions, and similarly for Salmonella paratyphi AH and Bh at 120 dilutions. Is this indicating a typhoid infection? Also, what kind of diet should I follow if it is? I could really use some guidance here.
The Widal test report you have provided shows positive results for Salmonella typhi O at 1:40 dilution and Salmonella typhi H at 1:20 dilution, indicating a possible typhoid fever infection. The presence of these antibodies suggests exposure to the bacteria causing typhoid fever. To treat typhoid fever, antibiotics are usually prescribed. In this case, you can take a course of antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin. A diet rich in fluids, including water, broth, and oral rehydration solutions, is recommended. You can also include soft, bland foods such as boiled vegetables, rice, and yogurt. Avoid spicy, fried, and heavy foods that may irritate your stomach. Remember to rest adequately and follow your doctor's advice for a full recovery.

I'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.
