Solution

The correct option is A Typhoid
Rahul is suffering from typhoid, also known as typhoid fever. Typhoid is caused by Salmonella typhi bacteria. It enters through mouth and spreads through contaminated food and water or through close contact with the infected person. They stay in the gut lining and infect.
Symptoms usually include high fever, headache, abdominal pain, and either constipation or diarrhoea.
