Why it doesn't feel my Typhoid is curing
I have got my Widal tests 10 days ago for the typhoid with the value of Typhi 'O' and Typhi 'H' positive upto 1/40 and 1/80 in both the columns.
I'm taking up the medicines and completed a 10 day course with the Antibiotic provided by the doctor which is Zenflox with a combination of Gas And Fever tablets. I repeated the Widal test again after 10 days and only the 1/80 column of Typhi 'H' was turned to be negative,but all the other 3 values positive. Doctor adviced me to continue the meds for 5 more days.
But even after following everything, I'm still not feeling like I'm being well, there's always a little amount of internal fever and intense body pain , and the pain in bones since I felt this.
Is there any reason is this only cause of my Typhoid as it's my second time for it , or there could be some other illness which I'm not focusing on. Please let me know !

Widal is not a reliable test for enteric fever.
Moreover your report of widal is also not going in favour of enteric/typhoid fever.

Hello.
First of all, Widal is not reliable.
Get typhidot antibodies done to know if you really have typhoid.
Cannot trust your Widal reports.
Get back to me with the reports. I would also like a detailed history so suggest you better.
Regards.
