Persistent Fever – Could It Be Typhoid? Know the Symptoms, Causes & Prevention  

Persistent fever can have many causes, including common viral infections and bacterial infections such as typhoid fever. Typhoid is caused by Salmonella Typhi and can spread through contaminated food or water. If fever continues or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms, proper medical evaluation is important.

Symptoms may develop gradually and can include:

✔️ Persistent or prolonged fever

πŸ’§ Drink safe and clean water

🧼 Wash your hands regularly, especially before eating

🍲 Prefer freshly cooked and hygienically prepared food

πŸ₯— Wash food properly before consumption

🚫 Avoid unsafe or uncovered food and water

πŸ’‰ Follow vaccination advice when appropriate

When Should You Consult a Doctor?

If fever persists, becomes severe, or is associated with significant weakness, dehydration, abdominal symptoms, confusion, or other concerning signs, seek medical attention. Early evaluation can help identify the cause and guide appropriate treatment.
