It typically spreads through contaminated food and water that have been touched by the feces of an infected person. Symptoms of typhoid include high fever, headache, stomach ache, weakness, vomiting, and loose stools. Antibiotics are used to treat typhoid fever, and in the majority of instances, prompt treatment assures a speedy recovery. It can result in problems that are life-threatening if left untreated.
