• Typhoid diagnosis?

I was diagnosed with typhoid at the start of the 2nd of March. It's the end of March now. How long before I can have a beer?

Typhoid fever is due to Salmonella typhi bacteria. Antibiotics are necessary. A restricted diet is essential, eliminating fats and dairy, and sugars. No alcohol for 8 weeks minimum.

Unless you had lab tests indicating liver trouble, I think that one beer a day would be fine.
