Diarrhea
Diarrhea and fever are two of the most common typhoid symptoms. It's important to seek medical help early on, as diarrhea can lead to loss of fluids, nutrients and electrolytes. Once a medication management course is started, diarrhea stops after a few days.3Roy, SK, et al. ‘Diarrhea Associated With Typhoid Fever.’ Pubmed.gov, pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3998508/
During this time, it's important to keep up the fluid intake and replenishing nutrients. Those with severe cases of typhoid may need IV support and hospitalization.
