<bot>: Hello, I understand your concern. I shall add Chat Doctor. 1. Child's breathing problem:I would like to know some more details such as if she has a fever, whether she has fast breathing or just has a blocked nose. Count the number of times she breathes in one minute(count her chest movements in and out for 1 minute). If it is more than 40 per minute, take her to see the baby doctor. How is her feeding? You need not be concerned about her getting typhoid from the mothers breast milk. Typhoid does not spread by breast milk.2. Mothers Typhoid: I would like to know the antibiotics used for your wives typhoid treatment and how many days it was given each time. It would help in figuring out why she is having a relapse so many times. Also, is she growing the typhoid organism (S.type) in her blood cultures or are they treating her as typhoid based only on the TIDAL test? Kindly enclose the blood test reports if possible. Precautions:1. Mother has to wash her hands well (with soap and water) after going to the toilet, before cooking, before eating and feeding the child as typhoid spreads through feces touching food or water2. Vaccinate your child against Typhoid. A typhoid conjugated vaccine is available which can be given to your child please tell whether child has a fever, how her feeding is, if she has fast breathing, your wives treatment and test reports, and we will solve the issue. Hope this helps and they both get better soon.
