How is typhoid fever treated?

Typhoid fever may initially be treated in a hospital, particularly if you have severe symptoms. Types of treatments include intravenous fluids, to maintain your hydration and electrolyte levels, and antibiotics. Once you are discharged from the hospital, self-care treatment includes maintaining good personal hygiene, keeping well hydrated, avoiding spicy or greasy foods, and avoiding taking anti-diarrhea or anti-nausea medications, unless your doctor advises you to do so.
