Verse 1) In a clinic one day, a child came through, With a fever high, what’s the doc to do? A travel history, not so far behind, Typhoid’s on the list, keep it in your mind. (Chorus) Look for the signs, when the fever won’t break, Abdominal pain, and headaches that ache. A rose-coloured rash, or tummy distress, Think of typhoid, and don’t second-guess. (Verse 2) Blood cultures drawn, to see what we find, Treat with care, and keep it all aligned. Antibiotics ready, ciprofloxacin or ceftriaxone, Manage with precision, don’t leave it alone. (Chorus) Look for the signs, when the fever won’t break, Abdominal pain, and headaches that ache. A rose-coloured rash, or tummy distress, Think of typhoid, and don’t second-guess. (Bridge) Fluid support, and monitor well, Keep an eye on the gut, where the bug may dwell. Watch for complications, perforation's a fear, Treat it early, keep the pathway clear. (Verse 3) As the days go by, the fever might wane, Keep up the treatment, don’t let it gain. Follow up closely, make sure it’s done right, And soon enough, the child will take flight. (Chorus) Look for the signs, when the fever won’t break, Abdominal pain, and headaches that ache. A rose-coloured rash, or tummy distress, Think of typhoid, and don’t second-guess.
