Typhoid fever is a bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Salmonella typhi. It is typically treated with antibiotics, which are crucial in eliminating the bacteria from the body and reducing the severity and duration of the illness. Without proper treatment, typhoid fever can be life-threatening. Commonly prescribed antibiotics for typhoid fever include: Fluoroquinolones: Ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin are often prescribed as the first-line treatment for typhoid fever in many regions, including areas where drug resistance is not prevalent. Third-generation cephalosporins: Ceftriaxone and cefixime are effective against typhoid and are often recommended when fluoroquinolones are not suitable or when there is a higher risk of antibiotic resistance. It is important to maintain proper hydration and nutrition during the treatment. Adequate rest and hygiene measures are also essential to prevent the spread of the infection to others. |
