Headache
The rapid loss of fluids and increased body temperature due to fever could lead to a headache. Those with a headache and fever who live or travel to an area where typhoid is common need to get tested to rule out this condition or start treatment immediately.
Sometimes, typhoid could lead to meningitis, as the salmonella bacteria makes its way to the brain, which can trigger headaches. Snce the 1900s, only nine cases of purulent meningitis have been recorded in adults.9Nwadike, VU, et al. ‘A RARE CASE OF SALMONELLA TYPHI MENINGITIS IN AN ELEVEN MONTH OLD INFANT: A CASE REPORT.’ PubMed Central (PMC), www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4111043/#
