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.

I've been having fever on and off for the past few weeks. Initially, I was diagnosed with typhoid on May 11th and started a 10-day course of antibiotics, which seemed to work at first. But just a week after finishing the medication, the fever returned, and I tried some home remedies, which only temporarily controlled it. Now, my fever is back at 100F, and I'm feeling quite down about it. Can you please advise on what steps I should take next?

I was recently told I have a low vitamin B12 level, something like 179 pgml, and my cholesterol is kind of borderline too. Lately, I've been feeling really tired, can't focus, and sometimes I get confused or even have trouble keeping my balance. Do you think I should start taking B12 supplements? If so, could you recommend a good one? I'm kind of worried about these symptoms.
