People are being urged to practice proper hygiene at all times as typhoid cases are now at a high with 112 cases in the country.
The number has increased from 99 on Monday to 112 as of yesterday.
The Health Ministry said almost 60 initial cases have already recovered with no deaths so far.
There were 25 cases recorded in the North, 42 in the west and 45 for Central and Eastern including three cases sent from Taveuni.
Fiji College of General Practitioners President and a doctor based in Nadi, Dr Ram Raju said people need to be aware of what they eat as well, apart from just concentrating on drinking water.
The Health Ministry also said the severity of the illness is generally associated with the delay in seeking treatment, therefore the ministry advises if anyone has a high fever and has flu like symptoms that extends beyond three to four days without any sign of recovery, should seek consultation at the nearest health facility as soon as possible.
Again some preventative measures is for you to wash hands thoroughly with water and soap and before preparing food and drinks, cover all food well, boil all drinking water at least 20 minutes, ensure basic approved sanitation or disposal human waste is in place and see doctor if you think you have the symptoms of Typhoid fever.
