Fever for 10 days with negative typhoid tests should not be treated as typhoid without a clear basis.
Please record the temperature pattern and review for other causes such as dengue, malaria, respiratory/urinary infection or an inflammatory illness, guided by examination and local exposure.
Avoid changing antibiotics on your own; persistent fever needs in-person reassessment and targeted tests.
Seek urgent care for confusion, breathlessness, severe weakness, rash, bleeding or low urine output.
You can book a Practo consultation or visit me at Synergy Multispeciality Hospital, Miraj for a focused evaluation.

A fever lasting 10 days with typhoid, blood, and urine cultures all negative means something other than typhoid is likely driving your fever.
Next Steps
Ask your doctor about other causes like dengue, other infections, or an inflammatory condition, and consider repeating basic blood counts.
Health Tips
Please don't wait much longer, since fever lasting this long needs a fuller workup, not just repeat typhoid testing.
