Brief Answer:
The injections should work. Ensure hygienic food. Avoid outside eateries.

Detailed Answer:
Hi!

1. The simple solution to prevent typhoid from happening again is to totally avoid eating and drinking outside the house. See to it that you get clean, well cooked food. Prevention is better than cure.
2. The knee joint issue is an artefact and will vanish on it's own accord.
3. The injections should work on you if they are genuine and have been properly administered.

I want to ask you a question, can I help you overcome the worries you are struggling with? This is because it is also a major issue, on the same level as having typhoid.

Kindly answer in the affirmative, let's solve one major problem at a time.

Thanks,
Dr. Neel Kudchadkar.

Brief Answer:
The medicines will work. Take preventive action against typhoid.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Typhoid is known to affect bones and joints. It can produce lasting problems on the general body. It causes fatigue and generalized weakness. you will recover if you follow hygienic practices.
Just keep hygiene, eat clean food and avoid getting typhoid again. If you are not able to avoid eating outside make sure you eat at hygienic places, very hot food that cannot be handled with hand, only bottled water. This way the typhoid can be avoided. If you eat at hygienic places the staff would be given Typhoid vaccine and they cannot shed the bacteria to others while cooking or serving.
Typhoid is a common illness and there is nothing to worry about. The antibiotics will work. This is a medical fact.

Thanks,
Dr. Neel Kudchadkar

Brief Answer:
A complete diet plan for you to gain strength.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

1. Eat a lot of Soya beans. (More protein rich than chicken or mutton)
2. Make sure you get a lot of pulses, "moong dal" thickly prepared.
3. Eat green vegetables (spinach - "Palak")
4. Drink lemon juice frequently.
5. You must make sure that you eat beetroot for iron supplies.
6. You must replace rice with wheat based foods - like "Rotis", "Chapatis".

All the 6 pointers I have given you are easily and cheaply available.

I will suggest that you prepare the food yourself.

This will take your mind away from fears and tensions and make you focused.
Also, your feelings of self worth (important) will increase when you see how
good a cook you are. Obviously, you'll feel good when people say good things about your home made food. Right?

Buy a tiffin box, and make sure you carry your home made food when you need it in the office or work place.

Make 100% sure that you do not drink water from outside, which is not purified.
Carry a water bottle with you. This is very important.

Now, after following this, you are OK and free of typhoid. No tensions endured.

Be happy,
Dr. Neel Kudchadkar
