Typhoid Fever Treatment | Home Remedies and Natural Cures for Typhoid

Question: I am suffering from typhoid since last month. Can you please tell me What are natural remedies and treatments of typhoid fever?

Typhoid Symptoms and Cure

I would like to have a detailed account of your symptoms.

  • Do you have fever?
  • Stomach pain?
  • Headache?
  • Nausea?
  • Vomiting?
  • Constipation?
  • Diarrhea?
  • Any rash?

Typhoid is caused by an organism salmonella typhus which spreads through the feco- oral route.

Precautionary Measures for Typhoid Fever Treatment:

  • Consume water that is boiled and filtered.
  • Stay away from outside food.
  • Hands and feet ought to be washed thoroughly, after you return from out.
  • Keep all food stuff in closed containers, away from contamination.
  • Have steaming hot food.

Typhoid Fever Remedies and Natural Cures

  • Avoid stimulants – tea, coffee, spicy food, soft drinks, and alcohol. If you don’t have diarrhoea, you can consume milk and its products freely.
  • Increase your fluid intake – soups, juices (not canned / from outside), glucose water, coconut water.
  • Coconut water is an excellent medicine.
  • Do not have water along with your meals.
  • Rice gruel is very effective. It’s soft, does not tax the stomach and is rich in nutrients.
  • Constipation should be managed, by drinking plenty of fluids, foods rich in fibre and fresh fruits. Psyllium seeds in warm milk do wonders to a sluggish bowel movement.
  • Raisins soaked overnight in water and had the next day is highly beneficial as a tonic during fever.

CBC check fever antibiotic typhoid diet

We have done CBC of my son there is infection and doctor has prescribed him antibiotic like taxim and oflamac but his fever still comes in the morning and evening after taking emusulide it goes down what is exactly wrong I have done the malaria and jaundice test which are negative but I am worried what should his diet be like
[Q] Please let me know what type of fever is this that is there for last 15 days – does he require hospitalization
[Health Adviser] What other symptoms does he have?
[Health Adviser] Any body ache, vomiting, anything else? How id his appetite?
[Q] no appetite, very lethargy feel heaviness in the head initially he had vomiting but now no; but has a body ache now
[Q] His fever rises to 103 sometimes
[Health Adviser] Since he has fever for so many days – and he has no appetite – it could be a type of typhoid – or something related fever -

[Health Adviser] I would strongly recommend you go ahead with your doctor suggestions – and maybe hospitalize him
[Health Adviser] How old is your child?
[Q] what type of treatment would you suggest and what would be his diet.
He is 13 years old
[Health Adviser] It is difficult to diagnose this remotely – ideally you should contact your local medical expert and get some more examinations for typhoid symptoms etc. I think he should be hospitalized as his fever persisted for
over 10 days – ideally for more investigations and treatment

[Health Adviser] His diet also can be confirmed with your local doctor after identifying the real cause of his fever.
In the meanwhile avoid spicy and oily food for sure.
[Q] thank you

    I am suffering from fever from last 3 days & I got positive typhoid in blood check. I had got typhoid exactly 1 year and 10 months ago and again I have got typhoid now. Now my question is what is the remedy for this? I have unbearable headache and light constipation. I have 9-year-old son and is there any chances of spreading typhoid to him also by air or does it spread only by water or food used by us? Tell me the ways that I can take care of my son to keep away from getting typhoid to him. He was vaccinated against typhoid last time in the month of October 2007.

    I started this home treatment taking antibiotics and other related tablets since July 3 2009 but around July 25-26 I was hospitalized for 2 days. I felt okay after being discharged. But to my surprise again I started feeling the symptoms which I had when I started the treatment. Again by taking ciprotab, it went down again but it started again in 4 days ago again which I now decided to stay at home for few days and rest and be taking herbals (roots) but having gone through people responses here on the site I’m contemplation of taking this MONOCEF which 2 or more people talked about here.

    My father had typhoid fever last week. The temp was 104 and the reading was Typhoid 160 dilutes. The doctor had given antibiotics for 5 days continuously (mikasin ) for once a day and he seemed to be after the treatment.
    Today evening he vomited and had light stomach pain. Was the treatment sufficient or should some other treatment be given.

  7. P.U .P

    As one week has passed and he was on medication, a blood report is advisable for further evaluation of the treatment.
    If the fever persists, blood culture may be necessary and new antibiotic may be necessary.
    Meanwhile, he can be given coconut water, less spicy food and boiled vegetables.

    I am 15 years old. 7 days ago, I experienced a high fever. My local doctor treated it as viral for 1 day. Then we consulted the higher authority. There in sonography reports, multiple lymph nodes were seen in my stomach and doctor claimed it as typhoid and treated me with high doses. So my question is that are nodes are also one of the symptoms of typhoid?

After taking all the doses, I still feel my body temperature still a little bit above normal for the past 24 hours. What could be the cause and remedy.

    Can you consume alcohol after all symptoms and fever is gone? If not, after how long can you consume it?

    • TDR

      Wait for at least 4-5 weeks after typhoid symptoms have subsided. If you have to consume alcohol, do so in moderation. Do not exceed 60 ml of hard liquor in a day and do not drink every day.

    I have had abdominal pains and this rose like rash on my lower chest showed up just today and my urine is kind of thick. I suspect that it is typhiod for the past 3 days. Please advise what should I do?

    My brother is suffering from typhoid fever since yesterday night and temperature is almost constantly between 101 to 103 deg. Presently he has been given saline and he feels cold. We had put one more blanket on him but the nurse suggested not to put the extra blanket as his temperature is high. Is it ok? Also is coconut water good for him? Also should we give him hot or cold water for drinking?

    • PUP

      Drinking water which is boiled and cooled afterwards is always recommended by medical practitioners as there is no likelihood of any germs left in it. The nurse has rightly said, too many blankets may prevent to lower the high body temperature. There should not be any problem with drinking coconut water, however consult the treating doctor or the nurse before giving it.

    Certainly there is cure for typhoid fever. Modern medicine as well as natural medicine has conquered so many diseases and typhoid is one of them. However, improper treatment can cause reappearance of symptoms after some time. Therefore whenever a person suffers from typhoid, the treatment should not be left half way. Completion of course of medicine and proper follow up with your doctor is essential.
