Typhoid fever, caused by the Salmonella typhi bacteria, leads to intense gastrointestinal distress, impacting millions globally. A diet focused on easily digested foods can be beneficial. Simply prepared tomato soup can help; offering hydration and nutrients without irritating the digestive system.

During a fever, the body's metabolic rate increases significantly, demanding more energy to fight infection. This often leads to a poor appetite and a need for easily digestible foods that provide sufficient calories and nutrients. While both rice and roti are staple carbohydrate sources, understanding their differences can help you make a better choice when you are sick.
