Answers:
I don't believe there are any dietary restrictions per se, but you'll have to talk to his doctor about a specific diet while he is being treated!. WIth any diarrhea, you may want to make sure he gets plenty of water, try a "BRAT" diet (banana's, rice, applesauce, and toast), or other clear, simple foods!.
My question is, "how did he get typhoid!?" Where do you live!?
Typhoid is spread via the fecal-oral route!. It is plausible that he ate food that was tainted with the feces of an infected person (this is avoidable by good hand washing habits alone)!. You should make sure that any close contacts to him are tested (children and adults), and anyone who is caring for him takes the appropriate personal protective posture!. This includes gloves while bathing or changing his diaper, strict hand washing for him and caregivers, etc!. His clothing should be washed separate and in hot water with plenty of soap!.
There is also a vaccine available for typhoid, which may benefit family members in that it can prevent cross infection!.
Good luck!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
