Typhoid fever may cause vomiting and diarrhoea that might lead to severe dehydration. To prevent dehydration, keep sipping on safe and healthy fluids ^{[3]<\/sup><\/a>. Staying hydrated also helps in the timely elimination of waste materials and toxins from the body. Apart from water, have fruit juices, coconut water, and soups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
ORS is the best solution to combat the dehydration caused by typhoid fever. Ensure that you have WHO-recommended ORS. You can even make it at home by mixing sugar and salt in a litre of boiled water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Tepid Sponging<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n $\"Tepid$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
To combat high fever, sponging with lukewarm water can help reduce the temperature and be a supportive method in addition to fever-lowering medicines like paracetamol. You can sponge off armpits, feet, groin, and hands. Sponging on the extremities brings down the fever most effectively.<\/p>
