Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
It seems you are having drug resistant typhoid fever.
This can be quite dangerous to you and your baby, if it is left untreated.
Please consult an obstetrician at the earliest.
If required, referral to a physician should be done.
You should take antibiotics for the typhoid fever.
Avoid eating from outside.
Take boiled water.
Maintain strict toilet hygiene.
SOmetimes, intravenous antibiotics might be required to treat notorious infections.
Proper testing should be done to confirm that this is indeed typhoid.
Serial titres will confirm severity of infection, and whether it is properly healing.
Do not defer or neglect treatment for long.
All the best.
Take care.
