Hi doctor, My father in law has diabetes and he is suffering with typhoid fever and jaundice. Can you please suggest what food need to take care to cure those. And one more thing he is tooooo weak. Please suggest to increase his energy level which diet need to take. Thanks in advance
Hello. Welcome to Chat Doctor. After typhoid disease and fever there is too much weakness due to low diet during that period with indigestion. There is more weight loss as on mainly liquid diets. So most important things in recovery phase is weight gain, maintain immunity and proper diet planning. Please avoid oily and spicy diet with fast foods. Avoid bread, jam, pow biscuits etc. Take green veg and fresh fruits more. Fresh fruits are superior to fruit juices. Also take lemon and orange more with honey which is anti-infective and give energy. Take protein rich diet like beans, peas, eggs etc., will help in increasing your immunity. Take rice, dhal, oatmeal, butter milk more in diet. Strictly follow this for 15-20 days. Do some exercise too. Hope these all will help you a lot. Thanks for contacting us. Take care...
