Hello
My daughter 6 years old was suffering from typhoid , she has completed 7 days antibiotic course and from last 3 days no fever. If she is eating well and active do we need to go for retest ? Do we need to increase duration for antibiotics ? Our paediatrician told stop antibiotics and no need to go for retest if no fever in last 3-4 days.please advise.

Antibiotic in typhoid is to be taken for atleast 14 days. There is no need for retest. Also if the child hasn't taken typhoid vaccine previously, you can ask your pediatrician for the vaccine after 1 month.
