Don't Be Confused, Choose the Right Intake When Digestive Problems

Dream - Typhoid fever is one of the diseases that infect the digestive system. It is recommended for sufferers to consume soft, mushy, and soupy foods such as porridge or soup.

Soft food will be easier to digest and prevent complications from typhoid fever. Typhoid fever patients are also advised to always chew food until soft, such as mashed potatoes.

In addition to texture, here are some things about food that should be considered for typhoid sufferers. 

High Protein Foods

High-protein food intake is highly needed for faster recovery in typhoid sufferers. Protein can be a source of energy and building materials that play a role in growth and maintenance of damaged tissues.

Dream friends can eat chicken breast, chicken liver, eggs, fish, tofu, and tempeh. It is recommended to be boiled or mixed in soup for easy digestion.

Low Fiber

If healthy people are actually recommended to eat high-fiber foods, it is different for typhoid sufferers. High-fiber foods are actually one of the restrictions for those who are sick with typhoid fever, Dream friends.

This is because fiber-rich foods are difficult to digest and can actually cause irritation to the inflamed intestines. If consuming vegetables and fruits, it is recommended to choose those with low fiber content.

Avoid Spicy and Fatty Foods

When experiencing typhoid fever, avoid fatty and spicy foods. Because these foods can cause bloating and increase irritation in the digestive tract.

Fatty foods can also hinder the digestive system and disrupt your body's recovery process, Dream friends.

Different Symptoms of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever and Typhoid Symptoms

Dream - People often equate the symptoms of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) with typhoid symptoms. At first glance, the symptoms that appear from both diseases can be said to be the same.

However, the symptoms of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and typhoid symptoms have quite noticeable differences.

If seen from the cause, dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and typhoid have shown significant differences. Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is caused by a virus, while typhoid is triggered by bacteria.

It should be noted that most viruses can cause diseases. Meanwhile, only less than 1 percent of bacteria types can cause diseases.

Most bacteria are actually beneficial, such as helping to digest food, fighting other microbes that cause diseases, fighting cancer cells, and providing beneficial nutrients.

Now, so that Dream friends are not mistaken, here are the differences in symptoms of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and typhoid symptoms which are summarized from various sources.

1. Symptoms of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF)

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a disease caused by the dengue virus carried by the Aedes aegypti mosquito.

The dengue virus enters the human body through the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, also known as the dengue mosquito.

When someone is infected by the virus carried by the mosquito, a series of symptoms of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) will appear as follows:

• High fever
• Severe headache
• Pain in the back of the eyes
• Muscle and joint pain
• Nausea and vomiting
• Rash
• The specific symptoms that distinguish the symptoms of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and typhoid symptoms are the appearance of rash, internal bleeding, and joint and muscle pain.

These specific symptoms make the bones feel like they are cracking, so dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is often referred to as the "break bone" disease.
