Nairalanders Pls Help! This Typhoid Is Stubborn by Nobody: 7:36pm On Nov 01, 2019 |
Hello nairalanders. I have this colleague who was always sleeping in the office around july. He often complained of muscle and joint pain with dizziness and pain in his eyes and both sides of his head. Sometimes, he would be complaining of slight headache and abdominal pain. I asked that some test be run by him, including an XYZ just to be sure. He did all that and all was negative except typhoid which was inherent in the diagnostic report with negligible malaria. He was placed on a broad spectrum ciprofloxacin. He was feeling relieved after which the symptoms came back. He went back to the clinic and was placed on Zinax, a higher antibiotics. 2 weeks later, the symptoms came back again and this time, the dr asked him to repeat the test and still repeat the XYZ. As usual all came out negative except thyphoid. This time, he was placed on augmentine. In short, he completed the recommended dose barely 2 weeks ago and symptoms have returned as I speak . Yesterday, I asked that the test be repeated for the 3rd time same as usual. Please medics, pharms and traditional medics in the house, what drug can he use to get rid of this stubborn bacteria? 12 Likes 2 Shares |

sagtav:So I learnt. It's become endemic in the southern part of the country but many don't seem to take it seriously untill it gets spread across other parts of Nigeria. Our government is so slow to act. Many may even have thyphoid fever but would think it's just malaria. I think diagnostic test is vital these days...how did I know? The day he came back to the clinic which our company uses, he said the doctor told him he has seen more number of patients with similar case that day alone, more that he usually sees. 9 Likes |

If he really had typhoid fever, he would have perforated by now . Moreso, widal test most private hospitals do is not best in diagnosing typhoid, and most do it just to make money. so in other words, your guy does not have typhoid. Take him to another hospital, this time, probably a general hospital if in Lagos, so he can be fully examined and investigated to know what's actually wrong with him. I bet you will be surprised at what the diagnosis will be if you do this. And enough of the antibiotics pls. You are welcome. 57 Likes 2 Shares |

fairfora: Typhoid is caused by bacteria Salmonella typhi. It is a serious health condition especially in the developing world. Typhoid risk is higher in populations that lack access to safe water and adequate sanitation. Causes of Typhoid Fever Typhoid fever spreads through contaminated food and water or through close contact with someone who's infected. Most people feel better within a few days of starting antibiotic treatment, although a small number of them may die of complications. Early symptoms of Typhoid Fever Symptoms are likely to develop gradually, often appearing 1-3weeks after exposure to the disease. They include : headache, sweating, abdominal pain, weakness and tiredness, loss of appetite and weight loss, diarrhoea/constipation, extremely swollen abdomen Later symptoms You may become delirious, lie motionless and exhausted with your eyes half-closed. Life-threatening complications often develop at this time. The most serious complications of typhoid are intestinal bleeding or holes(perforations). Treatment of Typhoid Fever The most commonly used antibiotic is ciprofloxacin. Taking antibiotics to treat typhoid only work if typhoid is caught early. If not, typhoid can be fatal. There is currently concern about the growing resistance of antibiotics to S. typhi. In recent years, for example, typhoid has become resistant to ampicilin. Ciprofloxacin, one of the key medications for typhoid, is also experiencing similar difficulties. There are very effective natural food supplements to treat all forms of diseases and ailments completely. We recommend suitable supplements of our reputable Company to treat Typhoid to get the best results. These supplements start work by attacking the bacteria to eradicate it, and correcting the imbalances in the cells and restoring the health to normal for the desired results.

When you take drugs everytime, there will come a time conventional drugs won't work on you anymore. It is not everytime you are sick you take drugs. Paracetamol is very active on my body even when it doesn't on other people. That is because I don't build my body on drugs. I wish your friend well. 9 Likes |
