Home Remedies For Typhoid Fever

Typhoid fever or typhoid is a water and food borne disease that is caused by the bacteria Salmonella typhi or s. typhi. and salmonella paratyphi. It causes acute fever and dehydrates the body of a person. It spreads through a human carrier disinfecting the water and food. The bacteria gets deposited in the food and water, and multiplies to infect any other person. It primarily focuses on the small intestine of a person and causes fever that can grow to unmanageable levels and sometimes may also  cause death of the patient. Mere contamination of the water supply can infect the food as well.

The bacteria grows from the small intestine and then flows to the blood stream as well, infecting the spleen, liver, the bone marrow, gall bladder and the lymphatic tissues of the bowels. Many a times typhoid remains undiagnosed at early stages until it spreads to other parts of the body. White blood cells are the carriers of bacteria invading the intestines which also reduces the resistance mechanism of the body.

Typhoid fever demands proper care and rest and maximum fluid intake to slowly recede. The prolonged high fever eliminates the minerals and water content from the body making the body of the patient really weak to sometimes even resist the antibacterials.
