Hello, Thanks for your query on Lybrate "As"per your clinical history please follow like this - 1)Take a high protein diet and it is necessary for recovery from typhoid fever. Approximately 100 gm of protein per day is recommended for adults. Protein can be obtained from foods such as eggs and milk. 2)A healthy intake of carbohydrates is a must to meet the body's energy requirements.So you can consume those food sources of carbohydrates that are easily digestible. Consume well cooked foods that are not high in sugar. 3)Typhoid leads to damage of the digestive tract and hence any foods that cause irritation should be avoided. Fiber can be harsh on the digestive system and hence it is better to follow a low-fiber diet or try to avoid it. 4)Due to fever and sweating, there is an increased loss of electrolytes such as potassium and sodium. So you can consume fruit juices, soups and broths to compensate for the mineral loss. 5)Ensure a good intake of fluids to make up for the loss of hydration. Fluid intake is also necessary to encourage elimination of waste material and toxins through the urine. 6)Try to maintain good hygiene in order to prevent a spread of typhoid. Wash your hands frequently with hot water and soap especially before eating and after going to the bathroom. 7)Try to avoid handling food as this can cause the disease to spread. 8)Keep your personal items such as towels and utensils separate. Also wash them regularly with hot water and soap. Clothes, towels or bed linen that are heavily soiled should first be soaked in disinfectant for a some time before being washed. 9)You can bath if you have no fever Hope that helps
