10 Symptoms of Typhoid Fever

Symptom #3: Aching Muscles
Chemical weaponry is another line of defense that our immune system will occasionally deploy in the fight against pathogens. When a disease is present, our white blood cells will get to work and will sometimes use chemicals directly against the disease in order to try and kill it. The presence of the chemicals in the body cause the muscles to become inflamed, and this causes aches and pains.
Most of us have experienced these pains when we have had the flu, but they can be considerably more severe with typhoid fever. They can be debilitating and leave the person bedridden as a result. Not only are they more severe in intensity, they are also likely to last longer.
