Typhoid presents as dry fever. And has highest carrier state. It can be stored in gall bladder for 21 to 30 days and you continue to be infective during the period post your treatment. So it is advised to continue for 28 days of treatment with antibiotics preferably ciproflox 500mg twice daily for 28 days. Hope this clears your doubts.
Next Steps
tab ciproflox 500 mg for 28 days as twice daily dose.
