Why does my body temperature feel above normal all the time?

Q: I am a 29 yrs old male and suffered from typhoid 4 months back. Since then my body is warm most of the time as also my palm and stomach? Please advise.

A:I am unable to realise what exactly can be your problem. Feeling hot is not specific. It is important to know if your body temperature is above normal and if this is so, you have fever which could be a symptom of many conditions like infection or inflammation in your body. The only way to know this is to check your temperature twice daily and record this for a week. If such is the case you would need to consult a specialist for various tests to find out the cause and get treated. Typhoid fever which you had four months ago would have been cured with the treatment you would have received and would not leave behind any hot feeling in your body.
