I have had a fever for the last 3 days, and today my report confirmed typhoid. I also feel heaviness in my chest but have no other symptoms. I am eating properly, sleeping well, taking steam, and doing gargles. Please guide me on how to recover quickly.

Typhoid can present with chest discomfort due to body aches or mild gastritis. Continue prescribed antibiotics (typically cefixime/azithromycin) and hydrate well. If breathing difficulty or rising fever persists, repeat blood culture and chest exam are needed.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - AEROBIC (BLOOD) Test
