Hello,
I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician.
I understand your concern. Recurrent or persistent typhoid infection is uncommon but can occur due to incomplete treatment, resistant strains of Salmonella typhi, or chronic carriers.
1ï¸â£ Immediate course of action
Do not self-medicate. Typhoid requires specific antibiotics based on culture and sensitivity testing.
Since you have fever and weakness, it is important to start treatment promptly under medical supervision.
2ï¸â£ Recommended steps
Blood culture: Confirms the presence of Salmonella typhi and guides antibiotic selection.
Antibiotic therapy: Usually 7â14 days, depending on sensitivity (common options include ceftriaxone, azithromycin, or ciprofloxacin if sensitive).
Hydration and supportive care: Drink plenty of fluids, maintain light diet, and rest.
Monitor symptoms: Temperature, fatigue, abdominal pain, diarrhea, or vomiting.
3ï¸â£ Prevention of recurrence
Complete full course of prescribed antibiotics even if symptoms improve.
Practice good hygiene: wash hands frequently, drink boiled or filtered water, avoid raw food from unreliable sources.
Consider screening for carrier state if recurrent typhoid continues, especially in gallbladder or intestines.
4ï¸â£ When to consult a doctor immediately
Persistent high fever (>102°F / 39°C)
Severe abdominal pain or persistent vomiting
Signs of dehydration or weakness worsening
Blood in stool or vomit
â Next step: Visit a physician immediately to confirm the strain with blood culture and start targeted antibiotic therapy.
