Antibiotic therapy is the most effective way of treating typhoid and should be given as soon as possible. Your blood, stool, and urine samples will be examined in the laboratory to determine the right type of antibiotic to administer. In addition, fever-lowering drugs can also be given to lower body temperature. Typhoid treatment (tipes) can be done at the hospital, but if more quicklydetected and symptoms are still mild, you can undergo home treatment.Typhoid Treatment (Tipes) at the Hospital
Antibiotics in the hospital will be given in the form of injections. If necessary, fluid intake and nutrients will also be inserted into the blood vessels via an IV. You may have to follow antibiotic treatment until the test result on stool and urine is completely clean from the bacteria that cause typhoid.
Infusion is given because typhoid treatments performed in hospital are generally accompanied by continuous vomiting, severe diarrhea, and flatulence. A fluid filled infusion is given to prevent dehydration due to diarrhea symptoms. Patients with children with typhoid fever may be recommended for hospitalization as a precaution.
In a few cases, surgery may be necessary in case of life-threatening complications, such as deep bleeding or breakdown of the digestive system.Almost all the condition of the patient gradually improved after being hospitalized for 3-5 days. The body will recover slowly even after weeks of post-infection until you are fully restored.Typhoid Treatment (Tipes) at HomeGenerally people diagnosed with typhoid in the early stages need 1-2 weeks of treatment with prescribed antibiotic tablets. Although the body will begin to improve after 2-3 days of taking antibiotics, you should not stop consumption before the antibiotic runs out. This is important to ensure that bacteria are completely lost from the body.
However, antibiotics to treat typhoid begin to cause problems in Southeast Asian countries. Some Salmonella typhi groups become resistant to antibiotics. In recent years, these bacteria have also become resistant to chloramphenicol, ampicillin and trimotheprim-silfamethoxazole antibiotics.
Immediately consult your doctor if your condition worsens while undergoing home treatment. In a small number of people, the disease may recur again. In order for the body to recover quickly and prevent the risk of typhoid coming again, make sure you follow these simple steps:
Get enough rest Eat regularly. You can eat as often as possible in small amounts than if you eat three large meals a day Drink lots of water Wash hands regularly with soap and warm water to reduce the risk of spreading the infection Bacteria Staying in the Body
Some people who have recovered have no symptoms of typhoid, but they can still have Salmonella typhi bacteria in their intestinal tract for years. Approximately 5 percent of people with typhoid who do not undergo adequate treatment but then recover, will continue to carry this bacteria in the body. Without their awareness, these carriers can make others infected through their stools.
Generally these people can also get back to work or school. But some professions need special attention. They are advised to ensure that the body no longer has Salmonella typhi bacteria before returning to daily activities. This risky profession, among others:
People whose work is related to food processing and preparation
Nurses who often face or care for people who are vulnerable to illness
Elderly caregiver or elderly nurse
Additional Treatment When Typhus (Tipes) RelapseSome people experience typhoid symptoms that recur a week after antibiotic treatment is completed. Usually the doctor will re-prescribe antibiotics even though the symptoms are not felt as severe as before.If after undergoing treatment the results of stool tests found that you still suffer from Salmonella typhi bacteria, you may be advised to undergo 28 days of antibiotic treatment back to clean up the remnants of bacteria. This is to reduce your potential to be a long-term carrier of Typhus bacteria.As long as you are still diagnosed as infected, you should avoid food-processing activities. Also make sure you wash your hands after a bowel movement.
