Antibiotic Therapy is the only effective treatment for typhoid fever. Commonly prescribed antibiotic for children is Ceftriaxone (Rocephin) injection. This drug can cause side effects, and longterm use can lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.

The Typhoid Stage:

Become delirious Lie motionless and exhausted with your eyes half-closed

Supportive Therapy. Other treatment steps aimed at managing symptoms include: Drinking fluids. This helps prevent the dehydration that results from a prolonged fever and diarrhea. If youre severly dehydrated, you may need to receive fluids through a vein in your arm (intravenously). Eating a healthy diet. Non-bulky, high calorie meals can help replace the nutrients you lose when youre sick.

Wash your hands. Frequent hand washing is the best way to control infection. Carry an alcohol-based hand sanitizer for times when water isnt available.

PREPARED BY:
Avoid drinking untreated water. Contaminated drinking water is a particular problem in areas where typhoid is endemic. Wipe the outside of all bottles and cans before you open them. Choose hot foods. Avoid food thats stored or served at room temperature. Steaming hot foods are best. Avoid raw fruits and vegetables. Because raw produce may have been washed in unsafe water, avoid fruits and vegetables that you cant peel, especially lettuce.

Dengue Fever TYPHOID fever

Dengue Fever is an acute infectious viral disease usually affecting infants and young children. It is characterized by fever during the initial phase, and other symptoms like headache, pain in the eye, joint pain, muscle pain, etc. followed by signs of bleeding, e.g. petechiae (red tiny spots on the skin), nose bleeding, gum bleeding.

The community should organize themselves to remove all possible breeding places of mosquitoes inside and outside of houses such as tin cans, rubber tires, bottles or drain accumulated water from trees and plants.

Typhoid Fever is caused by Salmonella typhi bacteria. It remains a serious health threat in the developing world. This is acquired by ingesting contaminated foods, water, or milk; transmitted through fecal contamination of foodstuffs; totally transmitted by human carriers. Flies are vectors. The incubation period is variable with an average of 2 weeks; usually 1 to 3 weeks.

Aedes aegypti, the transmitter of the disease is a day-biting mosquito which lays eggs in clear water containers, such as flower vases, cans, rain barrels, old rubber tires, etc.

Cover water storage containers to prevent breeding of mosquitoes. Drinking water contaminated by sewage that contains Salmonella typhi. Have close contact with someone who is infected or has recently been infected with typhoid fever. Have an immune system weakend by medications such as steroids or diseases such as HIV/ AIDS.

Clean house gutters to prevent stagnation of rain water. Have it inspected and cleared regularly.

Empty and refill flower vases weekly Sudden onset of high fever which may last 2 to 7 days. Joint & muscle pain and pain behind the eyes. Skin rashesmaculopapular rash or red tiny spots on the skin called petechiae. Weakness Stomachache Nose bleeding when fever starts to subsides. Nausea & Vomiting
