Question 1

I'm really struggling with typhoid fever, it's been 45 days, and I'm facing this issue whenever I take a bath, I become so weak afterward that I can barely move without help. I'm confused about whether I should keep bathing or not, because it seems to make me feel even more ill. What should I do?

Question 2

I'm a little worried about something. I had typhoid fever last week and while I don't have the fever anymore, my mouth is still tasting really bitter. I've tried a bunch of things but nothing's working. I'm also feeling pretty weak. What could be causing the bitter taste and how can I get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

Concerning symptoms.

Possible causes:

1. Hemorrhoids
2. Anal fissures
3. Proctitis
4. Gut issues (e.g., IBS)

Home remedies for instant relief:

1. Warm water sitz baths (15-20 minutes, 2-3 times a day)
2. Apply coconut oil or aloe vera gel to the affected area
3. Increase fiber intake (fruits, vegetables, whole grains)
4. Stay hydrated (8-10 glasses of water)
5. Practice relaxation techniques (deep breathing, meditation) to manage depression and stress

Consult a doctor (proctologist or gastroenterologist) for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Question 3

I took two paracetamols at midnight and Im planning to drink alcohol at 1 a.m. Is it safe to do that, or could it be harmful?

Accepted Answer

Do not take alchohol when you are sick soo do not take it now

I was diagnosed with COVID about 16 days ago and spent 3 days in the hospital. They sent me home once my CRP level was below 2. Now, 10 days later, my CRP is at 4.4. I'm taking Medrol 16 mg and Ecosprin 150 mg, but its gone up. Should I be concerned about this increase?
