A Paratyphoid patient should go to the ER immediately if they develop red-flag symptoms such as a very high or persistent fever, severe abdominal pain or bloating, confusion or altered consciousness, continuous vomiting, signs of dehydration, or blood in the stool. These symptoms suggest serious complications like intestinal bleeding, perforation, or sepsis, which require urgent medical treatment.

A paratyphoid patient should be taken to the emergency room immediately if they develop a very high or persistent fever, severe abdominal pain, vomiting, or blood in the stool, as these can signal serious complications like intestinal bleeding or perforation. Other red flags include confusion, extreme weakness, fainting, or signs of dehydration such as dry mouth and low urine output. A swollen abdomen or sudden drop in blood pressure also requires urgent care. In short, any sudden worsening of symptoms or signs of internal bleeding means the patient needs immediate hospital attention to prevent life-threatening complications.
