Hello,

Thanks for your query on HCM

"As"per your clinical history is concerned if you have no complications then you can take it without any problem so complete it' course as per your treating doctors advise.If you have any complication then you can talk about [ceftriaxone injection].

Do take following preventive measures when you go outside-

1)Wash your hands thoroughly with hot, soapy water, especially before eating or preparing food and after using the toilet. Carry an alcohol-based hand sanitizer for times when water isn't available.

2)Avoid drinking untreated water. Contaminated drinking water is a particular problem in areas where typhoid is endemic. For that reason, drink only bottled water. Carbonated bottled water is safer than uncarbonated bottled water is. Wipe the outside of all bottles and cans before you open them. Ask for drinks without ice. Use bottled water to brush your teeth, and try not to swallow water in the shower.

3)Try to avoid raw fruits and vegetables. Because raw fruits may have been washed in unsafe water, so try to avoid fruits and vegetables that you can't peel.

4)Choose hot foods. Avoid food that's stored or served at room temperature. Steaming hot foods are best. Try to avoid food from street vendors because it's more likely to be contaminated.

Hope that helps and wish you a quick recovery soon
