I've just gotten over typhoid fever, but I'm really struggling because my appetite hasn't come back at all. I'm kind of worried and not sure what steps I should take to get my hunger back. I'm only able to handle a liquid diet right now. Any advice on what I could do or how long it might take to start feeling hungry again?

give it time: Recovery from typhoid fever can take a few weeks, and regaining appetite may take a bit longer. Start slow: Gradually increase the complexity and quantity of your diet as your body adjusts. Stay hydrated and focus on easily digestible foods for the time being.

I'm having a bit of an issue thats been puzzling me and I was hoping you could help. When I try to take a deep breath in the afternoon or evening after I've eaten, I can't seem to complete it. It's like my stomach starts to swell when I inhale deeply, and I have to stop halfway through. This doesn't seem to happen when my stomach is empty or only partially filled. Do you think I'm breathing the wrong way, or is there something else going on that I should be concerned about?

Ecg and x-ray chest is advised to the patient.

So, I've been dealing with jaundice for about a week now. My eyes are starting to look less yellow, which is a relief. But I'm still pretty unsure about what foods I should be sticking to or avoiding right now. I'm especially curious if it's okay to eat green chillies while I'm recovering. Could they cause any problems or side effects?

no it should be avoided during jaundice
